header gasket problems
I keep having header gaskets going out on the passenger side and everytime i replace it when i go for a test drive and get on it there goes the gasket and it seems like its the #3 cylinder i have had 2 paper gaskets on there and 2 felproand no luck my recent mods are rebuilt 302 with trw forged pistons trick flowh/c/iand i know its not from header bolts backing out so what else do you think would cause this.

you mean take the header completely out of the car, that seem like it would bereally hardwith the long tubes.

I've got the paper gaskets on the driver side and all i did was just put it on and have never had any trouble out of that side it always been that same side and seems like around that same cylinder so there has to be something going on with that side but i can't figure it out.

i just talked to a guy that did some work on my car and he said that on one of the header tubes he couldn't get the wrench on the bolt so he dented the tube in some for wrench clearence, could this be my problem and how can i fix this also would copper gaskets blow out if i put them on.

Just a simple dent? I dont see how. Unless he somehow managed to mangle the flange on the header in the process so the gasket is no longer flat. Is it by #3 that he dented it? Defective header from the factory maybe?
