Got a coupla questions,
First, did I screw up by using gaskets from pep boys. I believe they are some kind of compressed fiber? I've read somewhere I was supposed to use copper? is that correct. I have a leak and I'm trying to figure out where it is coming from.
Second I have 1 bolt out of 12 on the headers that seems to be stripped. Is the best plan to tap out the hole one size up or something close. I believe the bolts are 3/8". What would be the best size to tap the new threads. Or what are the alternatives other then tapping?
Will one stripped bolt on newly installed headers cause a leak?
