rblong,
You may want to check out the dead soft copper gaskets for your headers. I also rely recomend studs in the head with the anti back off nuts that are supplied in most kits. After 2 cycles of heating and cooling with a retorque each time you will be very happy.
I used to use the white material gaskets and soak them in water for about 2 hours. I used 2 sets at a time as they would scrub against the 2 gasket surfaces with the heat expansion and not the metal or head = header surface so NO LEAKS. The soaking helps them sink a very little bit into or conform to your set-up and starting removes any moisture real quick. THis works but copper is better.
