As far as i know there is no gasket/seal between the block and and pipe. It is possible that you might be mistaking the exhaust leak with the transmission overflow hose the drops down by the exhaust
there should be a round crush gasket that seats in the head between the headpipe flange and the exhaust port. usually they get stuck in there so you dont notice them when removing a header. they are cheap and should be used
there IS a O ring that sits between the jug and the header. u should also have a spring there too if u dont have one.
Spring????? I think only for FMF/stock. Most aftermarket do not have springs only ones I've seen are FMF but I can't remember stock
You have a crush seal that looks similiar to an metal ring that is the stock seal,
It is pictured in the unopened package with the stock type head gasket
If that is not sealing properly, Cometic makes a exhaust seal thatr works in conjunction with the crush seal - Pictured here -
Yea im thinking the one in the second pic is the one to work the best i was gona go to the parts store and c if they can match one up
maybe hes leaking from the flange area.. i thought all pipes had the springs guess not
i wouldnt think if hes speaking of my old fmf its all rtved up already I:I
theres a crush gasket that goes between the pipe and cylinder
the cometic gasket works great but you need to make teh holes considerably bigger in order for it to fit. i have no idea wtf they were thinking there.. its not even close lol
u can get the one beats is talking about at any auto store, i used them and it stopped it completely, they are thermo gaskets, cost me 2 bux i think.
