Please don't use any they will just blow out. If they don't seal metal to metal get them milled and put a thin coat off ultra copper sealer on them. The factory never used gaskets. :popcorn:

I have used the ultra copper on headers. Put the bead on the header then snugged the bolts and let sit over night then tightened in morning. No more leaks.

What he said, I guess I am way too slow for the Superhero. I use permatex anti seize and a hand held belt sander to straighten them.

Last time I used a belt sander was in my high school woodshop and then we were having drag races with them on the wooden work benches :drive:
