I found that after replacing my headers I would have to tighten them down after several heat cycles due to expansion and contraction due to heating. Might have to do it a couple of times before it fully goes away.

We recommend the factory MLS gaskets with all the headers we offer. While we can get other brands we ALWAYS RECOMMEND GM MLS gaskets to customers for these cars. OP feel free to give us a call if retightening them again doesnt cure the problem. We are happy to help.
