Header Gaskets
I recently put headers on my rebuilt I6 240. I now have a tick-tick-tick that is killing me....
I want to know if anyone knows of a place that sells copper gaskets for this engine???

Header Gaskets
Ken,
This isn't a direct answer to your question (I don't know of a place that sells copper gaskets). However, I have used the copper, high-temp gasket goo (comes in a tube like RTV gasket goo, but it's a copper-colored tube, and it's labelled "high-temp"). I've used it in addition to the collector gaskets on my Torino's headers, and I used it in addition to the exhaust gaskets (and collector gaskets) on my truck's headers. I let the gasket goo set-up overnight and then it's fine. The Torino's been leak-free for 3 years (I installed headers on my truck in September, but it's been leak-free as well).
Just a suggestion if you can't find copper gaskets.
