Thinking about going the no gasket route? Any advice on what to use and how to do it would be greatly appreciated?
To do this right i am going to have to remove the while system in order to check header flange flatness (again) and get everything really clean. I have replaced gaskets in the past by just breaking the header loose and swinging the whole mess out of the way...

Steve,
Have you thought about pulling the headers and having them milled flat for a tighter seal? Then a simple exhaust gasket, a decent set of header bolts with lock washers, and you are good to go.
It will make a good project for you on Friday while you wait for the snow (or ice in your case) to arrive.
