  • D@*n header gaskets again

    well i just blew my third set of header gasktets today. Yay time to get some bloody knuckles again. Does anyone know of any better gaskets out there other then felpro cause these gaskets blow literaly. Also i found these http://store.summitracing.com/defaul...=egnsearch.asp
    1 would these work on my 3.4 and second would these help my gaskets from blowing every 6 months.

        well i have that nice loud tick noise coming from driver side headers. The time the blew in the winter i could see puffs of smoke come up from them i can't see that now but yea....

        Thanks wolf i'll look into those.

        Does anyone know if those bolts will work.

          well dont use Fel-Pro anymore thats for sure, i had them on mine well now i have one fel pro and one pacesetter in cuz no one wants to do the passenger side gasket for cheap. So kinda screwed there, but i know OEM gaskets should work for 3.8L but im not sure bout the 3.4L OEM gaskets.

              the felpro's blew because they are stock sized replacements, not sized correctly for aftermarket headers. I think 95bat is using the fiero gaskets and hasn't had a problem with them.

                oh it's not a slight tick it's nice and loud you would know if you gaskets were blown. check around your egr valve thats where i usualy get most of my problems.

                How about those bolts will they work on my 3.4?

                    how about these http://store.summitracing.com/defaul...=egnsearch.asp
                    I want to replace my bolts cause i'm just using standard ones from a lowes and yea i usualy break a few when replacing gaskets.

                    Also another question what would happen if I deleted the erg valve. I mean I always had problems with it leaking there i was thinking of just welding a plate to the headers and just bolting something to the intake.

                      the stg-8900 (the first link) should do the job. The thread pitch is correct. If it's for the 2.8L engine, it should fit your car.

                        what about egr valve delete does anyone knows the cons and pros of doing this. I heard you lose gas mpg but is it a significan't amount?

                          y bother, just leave it on there. If you are in a state that does emissions, you need to have it to pass inspection.
