Default Header Gasket Change

So I got my LT installed about 3 weeks ago and it seem that I have a leak on the drivers side.

How long should it take to replace the gasket?


Thanks

If your talking about the 98 gt then it's gonna suck. They are a pain to get to and the drivers side has the steering rod, dip stick and emissions tube in it. Did you get someone to install them? Done correctly your gasket wouldn't blow. If you used header studs they may have backed out causing it to blow. I try to tell everyone to use the factory manifold studs because they will NOT back out like the header bolts will. Good luck.
