I've found Remflex usually cheaper on Amazon than direct. Haven't actually used them yet, should be in the next couple months though.
Cant remember what I used when I did the Riv. I do know everything is still tight. Bought it all as a package from TA. When I did the install I used the orange high temp ATV on both sides of the gasket. Been over 2 years and no leaks yet. Used some sort of composite gaskets on the Regals 455. I check the bolts every so often. They dont leak either.
