Best Gasket Material for early RBM

[limnos]

What have folks been using for crank case and exhaust manifold gasket material for early RBM’s?  Thanks.

KARROPAK TAN FIBER SHEET  available in 12″ x 36″ rolls in several thicknesses.  A general purpose gasket  material. Not heat resistant. NOT suitable for exhaust gaskets.

Finding gasket stock suitable for making exhaust gaskets may take a while.
