reinstalling stock headers questions
 

I have the Rennbay exhaust studs and washer/nuts kits and new gaskets to use when I reinstall the headers when I get them back from being ceramic coated. Couple of questions:

1. Is any anti-seize or loctite recommended on the part of the studs that thread into the block?

2. Is there a "front" or "back" to either the header gaskets or the two gaskets that connect to the Cat pipe? Looks like the header gaskets don't have a preferred side, but the downpipe gaskets have a slight rim around the hole on one side, while the other side does not...simply a manufacturing by-product?

Thanks!

1) If you are using the proper nuts, no antiseize is needed. I never used antiseize on the studs into the block, either.

2) Use them any that fits.

Got it. Thanks George.
