Hi Mike,
How have you been doing?
Hey, to cure your gasket problem, get a set of Mr. Gasket #5949's. This is
an excellent gasket set that has a bonding agent that activates with heat.
You'll only need to tighten them about twice, then you can forget about
them. They work great.
You might want to check the trueness of the header flanges. If the flange
is off more than .002"-.003" you should have them resurfaced.
Drop me a line sometime. Show season is coming!
Later,
Rich - Ashburn, VA

Subject: DML: Header gasket sealer
I need to replace one of my header gaskets. I have some
copper rtv stuff but it doesn't say hi-temp.
Directions say it's good to 700 degrees intermitent.
Before I used some UltraCopper hi-temp on the gaskets. Do I really
need the stuff that says hi-temp for this?
Second question, does anyone know of a good set of
locking header bolts? I'm getting tired of tightening
mine every other week.
