another thread about a header leak!!

I installed my Mac headers and after reading allot of threads on the subject I saw that most people suggested the Gm metal gaskets and Stage 8's so I went ahead and bought the parts and I have a leak!! are these gaskets thick enough? if not which ones would be best?

Thanks.

I used Fel-Pro's when I did my ASM's last year, and have not had a leak yet.

also make sure its not coming from the EGR fitting in the back of the header. This seems like a common place to leak to me.
