Headers and gaskets - North American Grand Cherokee Association

Dominic · 12-08-2008, 04:30 PM

So I am well aware this job is going to bring a fair amount of suck to my life but it has to be done. I have a set of Doug Thorley headers on my 5.2 I have an leak and from what I can tell it's coming from the gasket on the passenger side. So my question is is there header gaskets that are better than other? Are they brand specific example will doug thorley headers only work with doug thorely gaskets? School me....

I was about to order them when I decided to post this thread. I am curious if that is the best option out there?

It says that they are the best match for the headers made by Doug Thorley, so I'd just go with them. When you tighten down the header, go in a criss-crossing pattern and torque all the bolts to the same spec to make sure you don't warp the flange.

can you get some kind of locking washers, like they did with the edlebrock headers on the ZJ they built on trucks? PM ryan(rstrucks) on mallcrawlin
