Go for a more durable copper gasket. Summit has a real good house brand for about 50 bucks.

I use Mr. gasket Ultra seal,never a problem. as far as tips,remove 1st and last bolt and put in 2 studs,then when you take rest of bolts out and replace gasket just put the header on studs,slip gasket on,tighten studs with nuts then put rest of header bolts in.The bolts line up much easier that way

Mr Gasket Ultra Seals on mine, and no problems. You don't need studs on the front and back, just don't take the bolts all the way out, that's how I did mine. Just remember to retighten them after some miles.

Had them in hand UPS the next morning before noon! That's Service!
Summit brand-part number#111406 1.50x1.44 small block chevy
Made in USA stamped H.C.G. They look like high quality and are very heavy-solid copper.
$29.95
On a side note, I've used the Mr. Gasket before with mixed results.
I'd never use them again.
