Subject:      #1 cylinder header pipe gasket burning out
Content-Type: text/plain; charset="iso-8859-1"

Hi,

I have a recurring problem with the gasket for the #1 cylinder header pipe.
This gasket fails after running the car at highway speeds for an hour or
more. Around town use has not caused a problem.

I have replaced this gasket twice now and even doubled it up to try to
accommodate any warping that might occur as things heat up. Has anyone else
seen this problem? Is there another/better gasket I should look for?
