I put a little anti seize lube(napa) on the bolts and a little on the gasket to make it stick in place while I bolt the exhaust on. The anti seize will make it so the bolts come loose easier next time. You could even use a little petroleum jelly to hold the gasket in place but I still recommend the anti sieze for the bolts.

Also you will be lean at idle and low throttle positions in cold weather. You may have been lean because the exhaust gasket wasn't seated properly. Don't over tighten the head bolts. Remember aluminum is soft.

are you talking about the exhaust gasket that goes into the head??

for glowing headers:
if they glow at idle, turn the fuel skrew out some
if they glow at 1/8 to 3/4 throttle, move the clip on your needle to the 4th positon
if they glow at full throttle, put a larger mainjet in
