The Stovebolt Site Forums The Shop Area The HiPo Shop header problem

hey guys I got a problem with a set of sbc long tube headers from hedman they have the ball and socket type flange there on my daily driver a 1980 gmc 1500 with 350 motor they have been on there for about 2 years now they leak badly I can't figure out how to stop it I tighten them up but they never really seal up is there any kind of gasket i could use to stop the leaking? I have a 3 bolt flange with stainless steal nuts bolts and double lock washers they are gasket less design but that aint cutting it now would something like exhaust pipe grease/glue work the stuff you put on pipes to slip fit them together to help them seal, that's the only thing I can think of anybody got any ideas thanks panman

Panman, since your question does not fall within the guidelines of these forums you should ask about your 1980 GMC in the Greasy Spoon. We don’t mind answering you, just post in the proper spot. I see you joined back in 2006 and only have 28 posts, the latest being from 4 years ago, so I’m going to guess you have forgotten the guidelines.
