[DeTomaso] Ultra Copper RTV and O2 Sensors

[P. Rimov]

Have your header's flanges milled/machined level and use a good set of 
quality gaskets like Percy's dead soft aluminum multi layer gaskets and 
problems you wont have. Percy's dead soft (no idea what on earth dead soft 
refers to) multi layer aluminum gaskets are by and far the best sealing no 
hassle easy to use reusable gasket on the market bar none.

Cheers

Paul
