I like the Percy's aluminum ones. I reused mine many times with no leaks.

I use those too, I love em.
Reused twice now without issue.

No matter what gaskets you use, either use locking bolts or check and tighten the non-locking ones often for the first heat cycles.

Sounds like an excuse to buy ported heads.

bought an extra set already, just dont have the money laying around to have them ported so im going to reseat the valves, clean them up, reinforce the exhaust threads and get a thinner impala head gasket with some 1.6 rockers and go from there!

a little upgrade, should be fun.

These are the only ones I've had luck with.

I've had the pearcys and they leaked and so did the fel-pros when I had them. And these ports were big enough so I didn't have to port them to my heads. Didn't have to re-torque the header bolts either.
