just use good bolts torqued to the right spec, and a mopar gasket. if it still leaks, your header flange is probably warped.

Also with it leaking, it will run like poo.

The leak will also suck in air, causing the o2 sensor to get confused, pissing off the PCM which in turn causes weird misfires, crappy fuel mieage etc.

Ask Latief and I, how we know....

Well, don't it's a long story. You could search Latief's posts if you want.

you can also spray it with some copper head gasket spray if you still need some sealing help.
