Ms4/stg 1 Heads Install I did the install started it up last night and I am getting a lopey spitting sound on the drivers side?? We all think its the header gasket leaking from the rear 2 ports. Just getting second oppinions here, when it gets rpms it quits, only does it when idle. drove the car for about 3 hrs today off and on no probs but this sound at idle. Throw your .02 in it will help my worrying hahaha

Just a question, Did you get the gasket the right way? I got the same headers and gaskets and i almost put them on the wrong way.That would create a seal problem.And it took a while to get all the leaks on mine fixed, tightened where it leaked every time, but now its good.

Might want to try the Percy's gaskets. Sometimes aftermarket headers don't mate up super nice to aftermarket heads, but I've seen Percy's do the trick when GM MLS didn't.
