    Mine seal just fine on my Canfield heads using Percy's aluminum gaskets. Bolted them up with a set of MrGasket aluminum gaskets last week but didn't get to run it long enough to tell, but judging from the flange impressions on those gaskets, they're fine too. Do those heads have raised ports ? or Std ? If std, and theyre contoured like stock heads on the outside, you may need to just take a grinder and chamfer the bottom of the flanges to mate against the heads
