RE: Extra Thick Exhaust gaskets

["Dustin C." <hell_fish_65@xxxxxxxxxxx>]

Did you snug them tight after running the engine for a while? The secret with headers is the when you 1st install them, tighten them down good. They run the engine up to temp and tighten again. Then again a few days later, them with every oil change.
