Re: Header Gasket Leak
Just an update, I undid the header on the driver side and the gasket was clearly showing evidence of blow past on the last port closest to the firewall, I decided to remove the entire header for a better look to see if the flange was warped, it was straight but I found really uneven welding on the flange to that tube so I ground it level and then used RTV on the gasket and block bolted back up and I can cheerfully say it's been a success...so far!
Cheers.
