Joe,
I have used these headers on two projects. They work great except for one small problem I've had on both sets. They always leak at the head flange. I tried different gaskets and a lot of other stuff, and finally i found the fix. I had to cut the flange between the ports (not between the paired ports, though). I guess the contraction and expansion between that much distance caused the leak? Dont know, but It worked.
I also dont think this was a brand specific problem because I've also had this problem with 2 or 3 other brands of headers.
Jeff
