I had the same problem. I went to my local hardware store and bought shorter ones.

How much too long?? Try to measure with a caliper and get a metric m5 with a shorter lenght, oh and anneal your copper gasket (heat and cool slowly) it will make it soft and seal better.

[chevy1]

Did u anneal the gasket??

whats that

Well when the gasket comes its very ridigid (hard) I took a map gas torch for sweathing copper and heated it almost till it glows be careful coppers more sensitive to heat, then just let it cool, it makes the copper soft and flexable to bend and seal the gaps make sure your exhast bolts are good and tight copper gaskets can be a tricky some guys have good luck with them other guys have none.
