can't find header gasket

Hey guys, so I have an aftermarket header and when I rebuilt my engine I had to scrape the gasket off. I thought it was a MR.Gasket but no one can find that on their websites. All I'm really looking for is a crush gasket for my 2.2 that goes between the header and the block. Right now I have the metal one as a replacement and it leaks like crazy

Yup. I dont think I have ever heard about anyone having problems with the stock gaskets. Another good source is the copper gasket stuff at autozone. I use that on EVERYTHING. (turbo, wastegate, bov, tb, intake mani, etc.) Stuff is amazing.

The best thing to do is have your header flange milled flat. I bet that's the problem, not the gasket. Hell I had a crush gasket and the stock one and mine still leaked because the header surface wasn't flat.
