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.

Mr. Gasket here. My family has always used them in their race cars and never has any problems.
