Ok so I have this leak now after installing the headers & i'm really not sure where it's coming from as I can only hear the leak when driving & not when it's sitting & give it a rev up.
I had been assured that I could re use the existing gaskets but am thinking that I should replace the gaskets seeing as though i'm going to have to pull it back apart anyway so is this the right move?
Also i'm wondering about the aluminum heat shield thing between the top of the headers & the spark plugs...should I get rid of this or does it need to be there to protect the plug leads? It dosen't make a hell of alot of sense to me to use metal as a heat shield if thats what it's supposed to do.
Cheers for any help or suggestions.
