ONE gasket only in each circumstance where two parts come together, do
NOT sandwich gaskets. For the crossover tube to the exhaust fitting,
this means two gaskets. From the crossover to the catalytic converter,
one gasket. Another from the converter to the muffler another, from the
muffler to the tailpipe another.

Two gaskets? Does this mean you have to double them up and then tighten
it down? How about between the heads and the pipes?
If so, should we be putting on two gaskets on the water cooled engine
too? My guess is that they should get two if the air cooled ones get
two.
