No leaks, no re torquing, no worries.

Percy's 66031 Aluminum
No problems with them at all.
Had their carbon gaskets, aluminum are far better.

Felpro, either 1470 or 1406. Going on 4 years with one set of 1470s with no leaks. The key is to make sure the header flange is flat, true it up with a file if need be.

Guppymech, any tips on filing the header flange and checking for straightness? Not trying to thread hijack! Ive heard good things about Percy's.

I killed some Percy's years ago, if you have a bolt come loose or fall out they can cook really quickly.

I have a set of copper gaskets The Merv sent with the motor and headers he shipped me years ago (damn that was 9 YEARS ago

). Wish I had a part number, so far as I figure you can't kill them.
