N8's eBay Speed Daddy Lt1 headers install

[DETROITMUSCLE]

How do you figure ive had no problems with my header gaskets?

just making an assumption based off this thread, seems to be a big deal lol. I've resued mine several times and no issues.

Percys are overpriced and work no better than stock replacement felpros. They work good, dont get me wrong. But a lot of people spend a lot of money on header gaskets that could go other places. Ive used mine over 3 times over 8 years with no copper sealent or anything else. I guess the message in this thread is that it dosent matter how much you spend or what kind of gaskets you get, just dont buy paper, lol. Eric L

just saying the supplied paper ones are no good, but they dont even exist in nate's case.

Good talk but I am going to use the ones it came with. If they end up sucking I can always change them.

Anyone swapped headers and not broke spark plugs?

I feel like I could spend a fortune on " while I am doing it" kind of things.

[JoeliusZ28]

the ones you have are not the problem gaskets, go for it.

Not this guy!

When I installed headers on Kolin's 93 LT1 Trans am... I broke one plug. But get this... I had it in the socket, screwed all the way in, and couldn't get the socket off. I tried, Tom tried and Kolin tried - we ended up breaking the plug by hitting the socket with a hammer to free the socket. The second time we installed it using an open ended wrench To this day it doesn't make sense to me...

It would be good to change them anyways. I wish wires were cheaper.

I removed my plugs before pulling the manifolds. I personally am a fan of the Taylor OVC wires. Mine have been great for 8 years. I plan on replacing them when I build the new motor just because. Ive also had good luck with the MSD wires, but those were under the manifold and were a very tight fit in the stock looms. I know a lot of guys on the Camaro board just run the stock Delphi 7mm plug wires. Personally, im getting another set of Taylor do it your selfers again. Good luck with what ever option you choose.

I'd like to use the ones I have. For the miles on the car it's still got some spunk.

[white97z28]
