Blue427,
Yes I had a leak at the head. The exaust flange was slightly canted and it leaked where it met the head. The Rimflex is about an eith inch thick (about double any other gaskets) and it will fill a gap to about a 16th of an inch. As you tighten the gasket it will crush and fill the voids. No retorquing according to rimflex. Like jmimac351 said if your exhasut is popping then you have a leak.
