Installed a pipe and used a copper gasket.
Looks like it leaks.
Yes, the bolts are plenty tight and plenty locked.
Run once and had exhaust crap on the throttle servo and engine. Tried to tighten it that last 1/8th past breaking and ran again: same thing.
It is not coming from the connection between header and pipe it is definitely coming from header to engine connection.
What do people do for this? Use one of those paper seeming gaskets? Use liquid gasket(doesn't seem heat resistant enough to me) is copper no good? Some kind of teflon? Just use the gasket the pipe manufacturer sent? Does anyone spam loctite on their gasket before installation or is my friend that recommended that insane like I suspect?
