exhaust gasket--ka24e manifold gasket.

i ordered an obx header from ebay. i just received it today but noticed i was missing a gasket. does anyone know where to get a godd manifoled gasket for my new header?, also some of the holes on my block for the exhaust manifold are stuck in the holes caused the heads were torn off. would it be wise to heli-coil all those holes then put in new s/s stud bolts to mount the new manifold on?

Napa sells good exhaust gaskets.

If your bolts broke off you should do your best to get them out, regular studs will work fine if you use anti-seize before installing them. Any time you put steel into aluminum or for any high heat application you should use anti-seize.

well what i was plannin to do was use one of those ( taps ) or whatever and drill it out, then install the heli-coil kit and put in studs to mount the header on. you think i should use s/s or grade 8 studs, which is stronger?
