Default just reinstalled factory H pipe

I just reinstalled my factory H pipe to go through emissions on saturday. I have BBK equal length shorty headers. I CAN'T get the passenger side to stop leaking at the collector (at least that's where I think it's coming from) Is there a "trick" I'm missing. relatively new to wrench turning. I guess it's not a big deal as the swap is temporary so long as i pass... Thanx [sm=feedback.gif]

Fats - thanx for the tip... sounds like the right thing to do. It's a knuckle buster NO DOUBT!! I think I'm going to run with it as it is for emissions. I'll see what happens on saturday.. If it fails, I'll reset it. If it passes I'll be sure to try what you said when I install my off-road H pipe.
