Have a 68 GTO 400 motor and a 4 speed. Got a set of headers on it and a leak at the 8 cylinder. I have tried to tighten the bolts to no avail. The heads are late 67 vintage #17. What header gaskets do I need to order to do the job right the first time? Which headers would you put on it if I was to change them out?
I just had the motor and transmission out so I could get the transmission fixed and check the oil pump. It was acting like a tach 0-max out. I could not find any gaskets locally so I put a set of stock metal gaskets on it along with the used Mr.Gasket that was worn. Oh well, it didn't work out Thanks for your info Neil in Tenn  [This message has been edited by Nomad68 (edited 11-13-2001).]

Wow! Ditch the GTO letters/hood and change the primer color to PPG 2K beige. Add some Centerlines and you have my LeMans. I hope I didn't just insult ya [img]/infopop/emoticons/icon_wink.gif[/img]
I'd cut the flange between that cylinder and the number six cylinder. Use some header gaskets and you should be good. I find that if your headers don't smack the ground and the hardware is tight, they don't leak. My LeMans has a tendancy to hit the pass side header and goes through gaskets about every 6 months. I haven't changed the driver's side since installing it two years ago. I've got FlowTechs on mine and the driver's side gasket is whatever cheap thing they sent with the headers. I go to Pep Boys and buy the Mr. Gasket fiber style. They usually stock them. If you look through Summit, Jegs, etc., they have quite a selection of gaskets available. Good luck! ------------------ John [This message has been edited by JC455 (edited 10-27-2001).]

The PY Online Forums is the largest online gathering of Pontiac enthusiasts anywhere in the world. Founded in 1991, it was also the first online forum for people to gather and talk about their Pontiacs. Since then, it has become the mecca of Pontiac technical data and knowledge that no other place can surpass.
