source for quality exhaust manifold gasket??

[falcon fanatic]

Hi y'all,
Well, my newly rebuilt and supposedly pressure tested head barfed up a freeze plug and I have to remove the intake manifold to get at it. Problem is, I used to get those high-end metallic exhaust gaskets from Mike at CI. Anybody know a good source?

Thanks!

I just got one of these, expensive @ $ 37.00 plus $ 3.99 shipping, but THICK !
guy had fast shipping too. Seller was "209speedparts".

If it never leaks, it's worth it, I've come to not like the felpro exhaust gaskets...

PM me with an offer plus $13.00 shipping.

Thanks, I'll think about it. By the way, that oil pump drive you modified for me works like a champ.

I was told you should apply it on without a gasket but do not tighten the bolts down all the way.
Let it set up over night then torque it down the following day.

follow up: I tried the remflex gasket. Interesting product made from a pretty thick cut of graphite. Soft and flexible, so it adapts to irregularities in the mating surfaces (but don't bend!). So far no leaks.
