Get a set of Percy's soft seals, you can re-use them almost indefinately if you need to pull the headers off again

From what I deal with the original GM 3-piece metal ones are the best.

pacesetter shipped otu paper crap with my set... what a joke

I got custom ones but V6 or V8, no real complaints about stock GM gaskets
