Exhaust Leak - at the head - please help

StoneWhiteR/T · Post by **StoneWhiteR/T** » Sat Sep 09, 2006 12:13 pm

Well I have a afx long tube header. It seems to be leaking at the head. I had read somewhere sometimes if you double up on the exhaust manifold gasket that would help, so i tried that and its still there. is the header flange just warped?? anything i can do about this??

thanks any suggestions and or ideas would be great?

is there any other company that makes a exhaust manifold gasket for the magnum motor??

what brand headgasket do you have on there now? I have a fel-pro that i bought from advance auto I think for around $5 and it's doing great with my LTH.

try some hi-temp silicone the orange kind u can get it at all the auto parts stores its way better then regular gaskets.

I dont know much about the AFX header, but if its designed for the magnum motor and you have a non-magnum, that could be the cause of your leak. I had the same problem when i tried to install a stock mag header on my non-mag.
