Did the headers leak right away or after a couple of heat cycles? THe gasket will set and the bolts will loosen up. If there was a couple of heat cycles on the motor you may want to check the bolts again. Typically takes 2 or 3 re-torques to get them to stay tight.

Not sure.... ran it a few times with "open headers" ..... could hear it until the exhaust system was on.

Will work on it tomorrow....
