If you used the Pacesetter gaskets, then that's probably the problem. I've blown them out within 5 minutes of running the car. Get you a set of OEM metal gaskets part # 12558573. They last a lot longer and provide a better seal.
PLus, remember.....when you use the Pacesetter LT's....you will get the "valve tick" or "flutter" sound because of their design.

My install was hell but it worth it, change them gaskets put in some felpro's or the OEM's an be done with it. Trust me the ride is a whole lot better when you dont have to hear them leaks! While your in there check you AIR tubed where they conect to the header make sure those arent leaking cause them gaskets suck too. OEM's are like $5 for 2. If you can the tube on the passenger side that you have to use the block off plate for check that good as well. Mine kept leaking no matter what I tried so I had to cut it off an weld over it.
