Header leak

My headers are so tight with my shock towers that i couldn fit a torque wrench to give them the right preasure on some bolts. naturally it isnt sealing completly, funny enough its still kinda quiet in the engine compartment, i know its not sealing completely on 2 cylinders cuz i can hear the spark, besides the extra noise, could this cause any other problems? opinions? thanx

As long as it's snug and doesn't have a chance at running open and burning valves, I'd say you'll be just fine.

Working on a truck is amazing due to all the space, not so cool on a 73 mustang witha big block, I made the stupid mistake of torqueing the heads before the headers....

Ive never had this issue before, so i thought valves could get burnt...

thanx and Nice to see you too ben..
