What Remflex exhaust gasket with TF heads?

[RBConvert]

On my current build, I'm swapping in TF 190's for the stock cast iron magnum heads. With the stock heads I used a Remflex 6028 gasket with TTI headers.
The middle two TF exhaust ports are shaped more square than the magnum heads, which have a slight downward dogleg. Laying the gasket across the TF head it looks like the 6028 would still fit. The 6003 is for pre-magnum LA engines and I wonder if those would fit better.
What are members using with their TF's?

I bolted the TTI's up to the heads and they fit fine. I'm still debating whether to use the 6003 or 6027 gasket for LA engines, or the 6004/6028 gasket for magnum engines.

I know they have a few different versions with various port shapes/dimensions. If the ones you have are usable and fit the ports well, I'd go ahead and reused them. Having never used a set of magnum heads, I've ever used the LA Remflex gaskets.

I have used the 6027 twice without issue.
Trick flow 190 heads, hooker headers, 72' LA block.

I thought that Remflex were the ones that were soft and flexible. They seal where others do not. Maybe they have different styles?

Yeah, I've never had any luck reusing them. Usually, they break off in pieces. They seal really well though.

You may or may not have to use longer header bolts too

I use the Stage 8 locking fasteners. I hope they work with the TF's.

I measured the exhaust ports and the 6027 is the closest match. Thanks.

I tried the header bolts that came with my hooker headers and they only stuck out a thread or two from the flange and gasket.
I wound up getting some marine grade stainless hex bolts a little longer and using those. There were a few locations where I had to use the smaller header bolts because the hex head of the bolts was too big for the location. They seem to fit after the remflex gasket compresses a little.
Hopefully the stage 8 header bolts are a bit longer

I'm thinking that they'll work because I was using Remflex gaskets on the magnum heads and I'm reusing the TTI headers.
