okay heres the thing i have a 92 honda civic with a 1.5l block and a vtec head but the question i have is i've got a ractive header on it and i was just wondering if anyone knew of a place i could go to get a new gasket for between the manifold and the downpipe part of it.... mine leaks like a siv haha but any help is appreciated thanks

gonna have to cut your own probably. Auto Zone sells sheets of gasket material. You'll need some aviation snips to cut it. Also, coat the gasket in Copper RTV for added protection.

To assure that it won't blow again, follow my instructions in this link:

Oh and make sure you torque the bolts down good, and then when you first run the car (after you let the RTV cure), drive it around the block and come back home or wherever and turn it off. Then when the engine is cold, re-torque the bolts. After that you should be good to go.

I'd check the bolts again in 2 days just to make sure they're still torqued.
