i know RJC is selling some multiple layer gaskets that look pretty good, but you cant go wrong with high temp silicone thats what i use

Fel Pro 1400's. They are reusable AND seal well.

Every Turbo Buick header I've pulled off, goes back together WITHOUT gaskets. I just goop it up with orange RTV and bolt it back on.

I've NEVER had one leak since doing this. NEVER.

The best gasket is the one you throw away! No gasket=no leaks!

Copper gaskets can leak too. The only sure solution is to eliminate gaskets altogether. It's the only thing that's worked for me 100% of the time.

I could never get coppers to seal until I annealed them. And tightened them twice after heat cycles.

Aluminums I had to constantly tighten, when I thought they were good I blew em out.

copper goop don't hold for me either. It turned it to dust and leaks.


Tellin ya, 1400's.
