SM Head Install... forgetting anything?

Yes, the hooker headers suck, but I got them for free in the trunk of my car. I would love some nice tti headers, but those are $$, and my car isn't nice enough for them. Lol. Also, no, the faces of the headers are definitely not flat, but again... free.


If the flanges aren’t flat, take a saw or grinder and cut the flanges apart. Then you have the header flange in 3 pieces. That helps some but Remflex and one other gasket works.
