Two things that come to mind are to check the header flanges for squareness
and straightness before you start, and to do all test fitting with the
gaskets in place. Buy an extra set of exhaust manifold gaskets if necessary
so you don't have to worry too much about mangling one set. The exhaust
manifold bolts and their location are not sufficient to fix leaks caused by
poor alignment of the header flange ports... Fix it before installation or
you have a good chance that the gaskets will eventually start to leak.

Good luck,
Theo
