Exhaust header gaskets

[TwinKam]

I see that ACT do these. Has anyone here used them?
I have to say that I prefer to see a proper gasket over sticky goo, so these do appeal, just wondering if there were any downsides...

I prefer the purity of a Gasketless AJP8 (bar headgaskets of course)

It is that way by design rather than chance

However, I do believe that some of Etore's masterpieces were head-gasketless, merely lapped, so I challenge you to follow suit, Paul .

Thanks guys, good enough, I think I will invest in what has to be the cheapest item in the ACT catalogue!
