Years ago I had problems with the header gasket till I changed to Percy's Laminated Aluminum gaskets. Because they worked so well I made my flanged gasket from laminated aluminum sheet stock.

I was blowing out flange gasket within 50 miles. Tried red high temp gasket sealer and a gasket. Lastest 20 miles. So I made a sidepipe to header gasket out of laminated aluminum that I bought from McMaster Carr. Solved my leaking problems.

I used stainless bolts with lock washers.
