Header Leak

RE: Header Leak
here is how you check for a leak. Unplug the engine fan. Get something that will produce a fine mist. Get a good flash light so you can track the mist. Start the car and start spraying. The leak will push the mist around. Remember the colectors too. Having a lift helps too. Remember to plug the fan back in.

RE: Header Leak
headers come lose a lot. as the car gets warm the metal expands and as it get colder the metal shrinks. therefore headers come a little lose quite often. i've found that locking washers do quite well in this case because it keeps everything from moving when the expansion occurs. also cardboard header gaskets blow, so go with metal too.
