Default header leak, quality gaskets?

I finally got the Windsor SR aluminum heads on the car, and it fired right off pretty quickly. Problem is I cant get the #5 cylinder to seal up. I can hear and feel a little air escaping from the upper header flange area. I am using the Felpro gaskets recommended by World Products, but I am debating on doubling up on gaskets for that side. Anyone have any tips, or recommended gaskets? I have never had troubles getting a header to seal up, but theses dang heads have fought me the whole way. Spark plug clearance issues, plug wire boot clearance issues.........these things better scream!
