if they are the oval shaped ports...make sure to get the gaskets from Mr. Gaskets that fit those perfectly...

or get the metal gaskets from Earl's that have an asbestos center....they're real soft and basically will conform to any slight defect in the material

Make sure you are unbolting the header from the H/X pipe when you're changing the gasket. You don't want to put any stress on the header while you're bolting it on.
