You are looking way too far into this. Go to a local autoparts store and pick up a tube of this:


If you can't find it locally, you can buy it online. It is meant to be a very high temperature gasket maker. Just squirt some between the two pieces and screw them together and the gasket should hold. I used copper spray on my headgasket over 6 months ago and it is still holding up beautifully.

It should work. It is designed for exhaust manifolds, head gaskets, and turbocharger flanges.

If it doesn't work, you are only out $5.
