Hi Bobcat - I'm familiar with the hi-temp permatex and I've used it on another car with manifolds with good sucess. If I felt pretty sure I could bolt these headers down one more time and be done with it for 10 years or so I would use it. But I've already removed them a couple of times and I'm afraid the clean up might be a real pain.

I prowled around on Summit and Jegs and finally ordered another set of the SCE gaskets. Some of the others like Percy and Remflex were as much or more in costs. These heads are very early high performance FE heads that Keith Craft spent a lot of time on - I think out of personal satisfaction or hobby time. They have the higher exhaust port than some of the later LR and also MR heads and it's very difficult shopping for gaskets for them on-line with any certainty of getting the right one. At least I know the SCE part number so I caved in and ordered another pair.

Thanks
