i got used ebay headder no name brand from a garage sale that not yet used.

its a two piece type and going on my sohc d16 vtec.
the parts all came with gaskets and its bolts.

Should i use the oem metal factory gasket for the top part going to the block or just remove it and use the one the no name brand headder came with. which one is better.

and for the middle gasket between the top header and the down-pipe part has a gasket to.

when installing the gaskets header can i use (versachem mega copper high temp silicone gasket maker) or like that? between the gaskets when installing them on????

i want best protection incase it has a exhaust leak.

 

Sounds like a bad idea to me. Never heard of anyone doing this. That's what the gasket is for.

 

ive heard that high temp rtv gasket wont survive under exhaust temperatures

but if a leak developed, i was recommended this product called exhaust cement or something similar to that

 

i just already put the thing on the gasket between top headder and bottom downpipe. it says copper stuff on it, and looks pretty tight will it hold. i dont want to remove it again, because it already dried for couple of hours. i already put locktite on the bolts too. it holds hella tight i hope it wont leak? it says 700degreze F.

and for the top block/header gasket. what is the best gasket to use, the one eBay header came with or oem one. i will not put gasket sealant on this one. and i heard that some people use both oem metal one and the gasket came with the header??

 

most likely it wont leak, but if facts are facts, that rv is simpy gonna burn up and may smell like burnt rtv temporarily

 

Should i put the oem gasket metal one on or the ebay headder gasket one on for near
the block/headder

 

put the ebay one, I use the ebay gasket without silicone and without problem... and the oem gasket store it with the oem manifold...
