I just installed some long tubes on my car with some brand new factory gm header gasket. I broke off the rear drivers side bolt. Its leaking and I've been driving it for about 3 days. My question is for the 3 days would the gasket be messed up? I'm going to be putting a header clamp on it for now.

If its the mulit layer steel gasket you should be fine if its only been 3 days.

I think the gasket will be fine, however I would fix that leak soon so that you don't risk fouling out your o2 sensor on that side.

Didn't know there was such a thing as a header clamp. Did a google search. Interesting piece.

Thanks for the replys gasket was still good. Yea I didn't find out about the header clamps till the rear bolt broke. It works great I would recommend it to anyone that doesn't want to pull the head off or drill/weld out the bolt.
