:huh: Okay uhhhh I've never heard of a gasket between the block and the header.

Do you mean an exhaust manifold gasket (goes between the header/manifold and the cylinder head) or a head gasket (goes between the cylinder head and the engine block?

Cylinder head or exhaust manifold aka "header". If its your cylinder head you will see s**t leaking out of your engine and you be smoking like a mofo.

Yeah sorry, i was real tired when i posted this :lol:

So.... yeah exhaust manifold gasket is what i need! the stupid paper(or what ever it is) one that came with my Hedman header is toast and i can hear it as soon as i start up :angry:

I was hoping there was an aftermarket one like i bought for my 91' accord, it was really good quality, but crappy tire still doesn't have a listing for stuff like that.

so i guess it'll be to the dealer i go!

would it hurt angthing if i put that orange copper gasket maker stuff on too? Besides my eyes when i look in the engine bay? :lol:

Call Cubed @ 1-306-352-8233. Tell them you need a Gasket for exhaust manifold gasket and make sure you tell them Zetec DOHC.

They will ship you one out. Tell them I sent you. They go for about $15 CDN

Go to Partsman in Oshawa, they are at the corner of Gibb and Park. They should have it.

I'm also surprised crap tire doesn't have it because they carry felpro.
