Default Sealing my header...*mumble*

Blew out a gasket where the header connects (2 piece standard 4-2-1)..anyway the company i bought it from is gone now and i cand find a replacement...forgot to put in spring bolts underneath and blew a chunk out of the damn thing.

anyway....i bought some high temp sealent stuff tonight from napa..they say it will work.

anyone have experience with this junk?...i have to get rid of this air leak, its all you can hear.

i personally think that sealent sucks i wouldnt use it, i am sure you can find a gasket most 4-2-1 headers are the same design, and if that doesnt work get some gasket paper and make yourself a hole new gasket.

I have used silicone to seal my header to my head on my r/c car wich goes to redlines at 28k rpm and gets hot enough to melt your skin lol so that might work

The high-temp gasket sealer might work, but you'd probably be better off buying some gasket material and making your own.

any exhaust shop should have the gasket you're looking for. don't weld it. haha. i'm guessing the sealant would melt, even though it's high temp, headers get up to 1500 degrees when hot. thats way more than enough to burn skin, if no shop, then just buy some gasket material and make yourself a new gasket.
