Contour Enthusiasts Group Archives Forums Modifications Forced Induction turbo headers and gaskets

Well the 1 time use gaskets are already crushed. Loosening them and retightening them will do no good. You could have put some hi temp RTV along with the gaskets to begin with but that's hind sight. I think thye only should tq's to 7 ft lbs. When I did headers I just got them good and snug because you can't get a tq wrench in there.
