Napa doesnt show the gasket on their site (going to a store in the morning). They only seem to have the gasket on the manifold side online. I can bend the tube easily enough to get it in to the header...its really hard to tell if its seated properly when its all bolted up. I noticed when I removed it this afternoon that the end of the tube looked deformed...almost like it got deformed from the heat escaping out (I dont remember the tube looking like this before).
Lts1ow, I unfortunately need to get this buttoned up by Wednesday morning (moving down the Maryland), but could you check to see if you have one anyways? I would really appreciate it. If Napa doesn't have the gasket, i'm going to buy some gasket material and some kind of high-temp RTV and make my own...I'm praying I can get this sealed up...If not, I guess i'm making the road trip to Maryland with it leaking.
I dont think there is any way I can bend the flange coming off the header..There is barely any room to work, even with the starter removed. Any other ideas?
