Hi, I remember some discussion about excessive heat coming out of the exhaust ports and blowing header gaskets. Has this happened to you? Have you found a relatively easy way to fix it? I REALLY don't want to remove the intakes again. Is it possible to unfasten all the nuts and bolts and have enough wiggle room to slip on a new gasket, or even to use a sealer or liquid gasket? Is the temp. coming out of an exhaust port too much for a sealer? Didn't someone say that some of these cars didn't even get header gaskets from the factory? I hope someone can help answer this. The noise and fumes are getting tiresome! Thanks, George Clineman [Non-text portions of this message have been removed] No virus found in this message.
