Default ERA / FE Header Gasket Tip

Hey Folks,
I just wanted to pass along a tip that worked for me. I have had problems with my passenger side header gasket leaking, I was using FelPro 1442s and had been through 2 on that side (1600 miles). So I decided to try copper SCE 4034. I put one on and it almost sealed but not quite. I got this tip from Bert at Gessford, he said to use 2 of the gaskets on each side. I did it and it worked much better. It's an expensive fix but if it holds up I'm happy. As I said, your mileage may vary but it definitely worked for me.

Chuck
