You should use nothing but RTV. Whether it's copper, black, or red doesn't matter much, as it all will work, and hold up until you remove the header the next time.Question to those in the "know". Should I use a header gasket or copper seal?
Driver side installed
Got the O2 sensor extensions from LRS.
Everything went well as far as the install went. I did however find that just about every gasket is leaking on this engine. I'm afraid that my rear main seal may be leaking. When I removed my starter I found oil and gunk inside the bell housing. I will probably pull the entire engine and trans this winter and install all new gaskets/seals.
The bad news? To repair that rear main, at least one of those long tubes has to come back out.
Turbo FTW!
...that's a first.
This is why people hate long tubes
You were able to remove the bell housing too?Why do you need to pull the header? I swapped the T5 for the 3550 with them in.
