I was looking at the gaskets that came with my headers and noticed that they seemed to be just made of rubber. Will that hold up to the heat? Do I need to coat them with anything? My headers are pacesetter by the way.

Amen to that! Ive never had a problem with Fel-pros, they are time tested on my 400 block! rubber gaskets suck! The last thing you want is a header leak, smokin up your engine bay and interior. its a Power drain too.1986 Trans Am 5.0 TPI, stock for the very moment.
