Re: Header Gasket Leak

I had leaks no matter what gaskets I used: fiber, copper, aluminum. I filed the header flange faces flat, and even tried to cut the connectors between the flanges. Nothing helped. Using stock manifold gaskets instead of header gaskets was closest but still has a small leak in between the middle two exhaust port. I think I'll try Rams Horns next.
Also no matter what I've done, I always have some leaks around the collector joints.
