Good luck with copper gaskets here too. Have even "re-used" them with no issues...

Summit has them. That's what I'm doing is getting my list together so maybe I can only pay for shipping once.  :smile16:

Since you have stock ports I would think those would work great. You may need to get two sets like SO said?

Ya, okay....I think you're correct.

Bobby...hope I'm not hijacking your thread here..... Do you know of a machinist nearby that I can take my logs to and have them machined flat?

Percy's aluminum crush gaskets work well. Expensive, though. The copper I've never used but have a set for a 460....they are used once, but free.

The gaskets Basset sells work AWESOME!!

MrGasket Ultra Seal (black ones only) put two on each side and I have even reused them with no issues and r reasonable on pricing!

Patch....they cured your exhaust leaks?

 

[Patchman]

They are great, and re-usable! My hot air is still leaking out! If I stop it, I'll explode! :smile28:

Find someone with a big table  belt sander is what EO told me to do it worked.

if you are going to belt sand or have them machined flat(which they will do with a belt sander) then you olny need 1 copper per side, i said two assuming your flanges were uneven and you were looking for a quick fix. percys crush metals work great as long as the flanges are flat, otherwise they will blow quickly.i went through that crap with a set of sbc ford headers.

I had real good luck on Brent's with a large flat B a s t ard file.....and a straight edge....took about 2 hours.
