RE: Header gasket?

You can usually hear if the headers are leaking, also you tend to get sooty deposits around the gaskets. Place your hand near the headers and see if you can feel the leaking air pulse while engine is running.

I had my headers patched up which stopped the popping........However the damn things still leak a bit!
