Worldly Scions,
I have recently installed a new quick-trip header and I'm
unable to stop it leaking. Initially it was leaking at the
top of all four exhaust ports at the cylinder head.
I removed and re-installed it, this time tightening the top
nuts first. This helped reduce leakage some, but now the
header is banging on the car frame and it's still leaking a
little around #4. All of the mating flanges are flat and
I've tried (2) new gaskets.
I'm beginning to think that the motor may not be sitting
in perfect alignment. The motor-mounts are relatively new.
I replaced them while trying to fix a similar problem with
a different header. This one did not leak but hit the
frame also. (Which is why I replaced it). This is getting
frustrating.
Has anyone solved a similar problem?
AdTHANKSvance,
Bob
