They don't have the steel O-rings around the ports. I'm wondering how they'll hold up.

Several people on Pennocks have recommended old VW exhaust gaskets.
Of course, you'll need six instead of four.

Here's one from that list. I'm not sure on the port sizes and bolt spacing any more. This one shows a 1 1/4 port.

This one is a 4 pack of copper gaskets. Shows 1 5/8" ports.

This is just one vendor, from a quick search of the interwebz. You can probably find some locally.
