Re: leaking headers
I have Sanderson shorty headers on my truck (I believe CC11?) and they have never leaked. I use the black RTV as they suggest (I think thats what it was, been so long). I put a little bit on the ends of the header bolts too and they've never backed off. I repainted my engine after taking it out to fix a couple oil leaks, I scraped the old black RTV off, applied new, put the header on a little more than finger tight and then went back out the next day and tightened them more. Never had an issue. Now I don't think you have to wait 24 hours to tighten them back up, but it's worked both times I've done it and never had any issues at all.
