For the past two months now, Ive had an exhaust leak from the driverside manifold, 99% its coming from there.

My friend said he could he the gasket blown out; I couldnt see it but the ticking noise goes away more after the metal has heated up.

Is Ebay a good place to buy some replacement copper gaskets?

Ive heard copper is a good material to use and in some cases can be reusable, for future header upgrades.
The exhaust leak now is annoying and some of the exhaust may not be allowing the 02 to snif everything.
Thanks

 

As far as I know, you must have the thin metal gaskets for stock manifolds, but I could be wrong. Also, I have never bought gaskets off of ebay, so I couldn't help you out on that one.

 

Fel pro + a little orange RTV around the ports = win.

 

Exactly what I did with my header gaskets and haven't had any leaks since.

 

It is probably leaking because a bolt is broken. You'll be lucky to get away with a gasket only problem. If I was keeping the stock manifolds, I would get GM OEM gaskets.

Good Luck
