    Did you use gaskets on them or the Hi-Temp RTV?

    Sanderson claims that their headers are gasketless. All you have to use is Hi-Temp RTV. I was just wondering about how well that works.        https://www.sandersonheaders.com/nogaskets.html

    Re: Sanderson Headers

    I use RTV to hold the gaskets in place when installing the headers. stick gaskets on and wait over night before installing headers.
    IF I'm feel'n kinda anal......I smear a thin coat of RTV on the headers before all the cuss'in & knuckle bust'in starts.
