The Freak is alive!!!!!!
The Freak is alive!!!!!! The Freak came alive last nite. it sounded heavenly lol. I had a exhaust leak between heads and headers before i still have the same problem. the 1st time i stripped the threads out of the heads and so i pulled it off and installed helicoils. now everything is together and i still have the same problem. i tried to torque all the bolts to 18 ft/lbs. the only ones i didn't do was the the front and bolts bolts cuz i couldn't get the torque wrench in there. but other than that i have no oil or water leaks. i hoping to get it tuned and driving but i'm not goin to able to. i leave to korea early tomorrow morning 
So i'm happy cuz i got it started but sad cuz of the leak. Anyone have suggestion what it could be? i changed the gasket 3x. Could it be the headers? it seemed fine

What kind of gaskets are you using. I bought copper ones with my set up and it didnt match up with the D port heads which prevented a good seal. Also, do your headers match your heads? I bought some Mr. Gasket ultra seals and was good to go.
i saw the black streaks on the heads. i made sure to clean the heads to see if it continued to leak. i had the metal gasket from what it came with. it was a lil bent so i used the graphite gasket and it was still leaking. then now the other day when i put everything back i used a fel-pro gasket. i'm not sure on the material. it was metal but in a way still soft.
