Well what's the downside of using the stock gasket w/no seperation?
Performance issue?
I've been using the stock gaskets for more years than I care to remember
w/no problems.
I also don't see the problem of using a metal reinforced gasket w/a header
unless the manifold flanges aren't made/machined well and I've seen that
many times. The original good ol asbestos 1600 gaskets used metal and I
never had a problem. Cough, cough!!
