exhaust gasket maker?
has anyone used this stuff? i have a small leak around my header and the bolts are striped in the head so Im not taking the header off. Just wondering if i can get some glop to stuff into a whole, if they make it.

Its called "Ultra Copper Gasket" or something to effect. and it works quite well. I gave up on using the perforated metal gaskets because the goo works so well.
As its intended to be used, you gotta use it as the gasket, so globbing it onto the edge may not accomplish much. You'd be better off loosening the header up and pressing some of the goo down into the interface, then tightening it back up.

thanks B. I just picked some up and am waiting for the header to cool down. Ill mash some inbetween the head and the gasket and hopefully that clears up the small leak.
