I like the percy's aluminum gaskets. i always blow through the thin areas of the composite ones. You don't need to completely remove the header. If you loosen the collector flange bolts you should be able to swing it away from the motor a bit. The holes on the ends of the header gaskets are slotted so you can get the 2 end bolts started without the gasket in the middle, and slide it over after you have 2 end bolts threaded.
