is there supposed to be a header washer/gasket ???

I installed my Powerbomb header (and Q4) a couple weeks ago and when I took my stock header off, there was no washer between the header and the engine. Is that right? And the Powerbomb didn't come with one either. So, I just used some high temp silicone. Seems to work fine but I just read somewhere that there should have been a washer or gasket or something. Did I miss something????

Download the service manual.
It looks to me like a gasket should be there.

Are you sure it's not just "stuck" on the cylinder head?

there should be one and that was my guess as well that is was stuck to the stock header or the head when you pulled the stock exhaust off.
