I don't believe the gaskets are always installed...

From my notes:
*
The best is Ultra Copper, good to 700f, then High Temp Red, good to 650f and finally Ultra Black good to 625f. I Any will work on a W or 385, I generally use the Copper on an FE just because the water jackets set back form the flange, so an FE flange sees a little higher temp.
*
There is a new product from Loctite called Gasket eliminator and it has a temp value of 880 F.
*
Install headers sans gaskets using Ultra High Temp Red Permatex. Put it on the header flange (thick but not overly so) and allow it to cure a few minutes and then install the headers with the bolts finger tight, after an hour or so I torque the bolts.
