    Mine did. The little locking pieces just need to be against something stationary. Getting them on there required having double-jointed arms and I'm not sure I'll ever get feeling back in my spine. ;) I have heard of people having good luck with the standard bolts from Home Depot and the like, though.

      I just got my gaskets in my abbott. They look alright. Not a perfect fit. Atleast the holes line up correctly just a little small for the flowing holes will have to drim but the die grinder will take car of that I suppose. Wish me luck i'm putting in headers in about 45 min. Reading up on every little thing before I start on it.

        I got Felpro's for my headers. Havent installed them yet, so I can't vouch for how well they work.

            Mine were off quite a bit. I was able to Dremel them into shape pretty easily. Just wear some gloves and goggles. Don't take chances with fine bits of gasket. Good luck!

              The Fel Pro's give alot of clearence, no triming needed, use some spray copper gasket sealer and your set. I let sprayed the gasket front and back and left them on a hook to dry for about an hour. Worked outstanding $16 for the gaskets and about $7 for the copper spray. I reused my stock bolts instead of the locking bolts, when I swap out my heads I'll use the locking bolts.

                My abbot gaskets are holding up fine, didnt bother with locking bolts just tightened the ones that came with pacesetter after a few days of the install and I check em periodically and have not moved a bit
