Shovel head gaskets

[Dave Knies]

What would be the best head gaskets to use on a '68 flh. I've been using the blue teflon gaskets but the rear head recently began leaking. Any tips on proper tightening? Thanks.

I use Fire ring head gaskets-Vtwin 15-1011[James] 15-0273[VTwin]
Make sure you clean the threads in the heads so you actually tighten the head to Cylinder
Make sure your head thread inserts are not pulled down from overtorque-WARPED face on heads
Make sure your head bolts are not too long and bottoming out in the head

I have switched to Cometic gaskets on both the Pans and the Shovels. Bit more expensive but I sure like the way they seal.
