if it's an aftermarket header that doesn't take the o-rings buy one of these:

i got one of those off these guys on an ebay auction for like 12 bucks. construction is awesome. if you look closely at the pic, you can see it has kind of a crush ring on it to help seal it.

Its an aftermarket dc sports header for an h23a1 and the mounting bracket that bolts to the motor broke off.

Going through that many gaskets, you might want to check that your flange is true.

1 13/16" exactly. when it's put on and smooshed between the header and downpipe maybe it's about 1 3/4".
