Which side is the header side of the Fel-Pro header gasket, or any gasket for that matter?

I suppose this question relates to the RAIII manifolds? I suggest no gasket.

I suggest the composite metal gasket even for manifolds - to act as a poor thermal path to relatively hotter manifold conducting back to the head. Probably better than that factory stamped steel gasket.

Actually, what I was initially referring to was the "Header Headaches" article in the Oct. 2000 HPP issue. Step 2 reads "Make sure you have the proper side against the header..." I am wondering if this is referring to the cut out gasket being positioned wrong if reversed, or there actually being a certain side of the gasket that should face the head side and the other the header side?
But this info about no gasket at all is new to me and a concensus of "gasket" to "no gasket" users might prove interesting. |

on headers i use gaskets and on manifolds i don't. it seems the manifolds leak quicker if a gasket is installed. mike

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.
