get messed up when you tighten them.

I have copper collector gaskets in mine and have had no problems since installing them. The gaskets I have are made by the header manufacturer.

I bought copper for mine but have not fired up the engine yet . The Stage 8 locking header bolts are the ones I went with. They won't back out on you, a bit pricey but for me it was worth it not to have to mess with header bolts, which were always a PITA for me.

Got my copper header gasket from Summit. The part number is SUM-111406 and I'm been using them with my stock exchaust manifolds for about 2 years without problems.

Mr. Gasket, although having a well-deserved reputation for shilling some SERIOUS JUNK, offers a pretty good embossed copper header gasket. I can't help with a part number, though. Sorry.
