Use the stock metal gaskets, SDPC sells them----->
or if it leaks with the stock gaskets, try Percys dead soft gaskets (sold by Summit racing)

I second the Percy's Aluminum gaskets, I have some and they're great. I already converted a few people. No leaks at all on my Kooks or my buddies Pacesetters, the others no word from. Got them from Speed Inc.
