Hey Group, what's the common wisdom re: using a gasket sealer like hi-temp copper on the exhaust and intake manifold gaskets? I need to re-gasket my headers.and did use a sealer when I installed the Frank Condelli stainless system about 5 years ago. The pipes are fine but the gaskets are starting to leak at least till everything gets up to running temp. I've heard sealer isn't needed but thought I could get a few expert opinions. Thanks.
