I havent touched mine in 3 years except for the things I got stupid on earlier. (like forgetting to put the lockwashers on the pan bolts) ol' Lefty starts every morning and gives me not a lick of trouble.
I know this goes against the cheap rule but if someone has headders that are constantly leaking I HIGHLY suggest copper gaskets.
Yes coppers work well but in my case the header port weld ring only catches the port by 1/32" in a few places so mine are heading for the garbage as soon as I can get a set of manifolds.
