Re: leaking headers
I have never torqued headers and don't have issues with headers leaking. The cheap gaskets they always gave you didn't help, so I used to have to tighten them from time to time on a couple trucks. The headers that are on my '72 I have now I installed in '01 and have yet to touch them. The exhaust system I had made at that time is showing it's age. One rear bracket weld broke loose and one side rusted off at the muffler. I have that coupled together, but time to think about new exhaust. I guess I'll go ahead and replace the headers while I'm at it.
