I thought you were having allot of trouble with these headers Doc?
I seem to remember you saying you were going to get another set?

Yeah I found this leak, was gettin' pissed at them, fixed my leak, I'm okay with them for now. I would love to get some new ones, but right now its not an option.

glad you got it fixed...mine just keeps blowing out the #4 cylinders on the cheapo paper gaskets.I'm springin for the aluminum ones this next time.....that's gonna hurt.

I had similar problems with gaskets on my drag car years ago and found that the only fix that lasted was to glue two gaskets together with yellow 3M trim cement AKA Gorilla Snot. Torque the headers to specified tightness and run the engine to full operating temp and then let the engine cool overnight, the next day retorque again to specs + 10 ft lbs. Never had a problem after that.
