I've had good luck with Percy's aluminum ones also reused them several times. If there is a major mismatch I've used Remflex and never had any issues. Scott

best header gaskets I have ever used are Percy's the thick aluminum ones I have reused them on different heads and headers and never had a leak.
X2.. I've used Percy's on my 383 & after the first heat cycle retorque, they seal great.

I can tell you how to minimize any leaks.. if the flange is 1 piece cut the end tubes from the center (wedge) and open up 1 of the mounting hole per tube so it can slide and not buckle the flange... I like any gasket thats part graphite.. its slippery

If you have used other gaskets and they lasted like a year and then blew out, Remflex is the cure. Only thing that sucks is they get destroyed if you have to pull a header.

Thanks Guys! I agree that the quality of the header itself is a major factor. I'll never forget the first set I had so many years ago- dented up junk from englishtown swap meet, where I had to change gaskets weekly. Hey- I had it down to a science and did it in a parking lot anywhere. What is the remflex made of?
