Many times the header flange lower edge hits the edge of the top of the block,
keeping it from seating properly.

I had problems with this before and it turned out to be an untrue header flange.
Once I fixed the flange issue, I have gotten away with doubling up on the
standard gaskets, but they eventually fail. I had a company that makes graphite
gaskets for industrial purposes run me a small batch a few years ago. These have
performed flawlessly. I'll go thru my records and send there info later today.
Great company.
