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.

What gasket would you recommend to replace it? I forget what was there before- probably one that came with the set I got from BFE...
