Gasket is here.....
http://www.newsouthperformance.com/gasket.htm
And I notice that in the instructions it says to use sealant to seal the new parts. I would rather us some thing that I don't have to worry about leaking..... Like maybe 2 of the OEM gaskets. Has anyone tried this? Or for those that have installed this gasket already have you had any problems with using just sealant?
Also I laid the gasket on my table and could tell that the gasket is not exactly flat. And I mean not exactly flat in a bad way. There is no nice smooth curve there are a few spots where it has a bit of a bend that doesn't follow the curve of the rest of the gasket. And this makes me think.... leak?.,.. Maybe I am overreacting and once the gasket is in place the manifold and head will straighten this gasket problem out.

maybe if you were lucky...
my local home depot never has metric stuff in the size i need. i have a local shop that sales nothing but metric bolts and such..... just walk up with one of the existing bolts tell the guy at the counter i need the same thing but 13mm longer or what ever and he asks what grade... done... it rocks... bad thing is you have to buy a min of 8 buks worth the stuff per visit....
if you want i could get a extra set for you when i am there and mail them out i bet they wont be too expensive...properly 80-120 cents each..... (i know that is a bit much but they are Allen head and metric...)

mcmaster.com will have anything you need.
i think they are M6x1.25 bolts. i dont actually remember how long they need to be. remmeber, one or two of them are nuts too.
my car is doing well. finished up a lot of projects over spring break. on the dyno sometime next week or so
