Extractors on vk black 6

[commy vk]

Does anyone know if putting on extractors solvers the manifold gasket from blowing?I have already changed 2 over.The last time one went on me I was in the middle of the Donga and I was just lucky it mainly affected idling but when I got home a chunk of gasket just flew off in the driveway.

I think the question you need to ask is why do they blow
Is your head warped, is your manifold warped or are you fitting the gasket incorrectly, not cleaning the head down properly or not tightening up the manifold correctly.

If your manifold it warped then yes new headers will solve the problem.
