I learned that going the extra $5 to buy the higher quality is always a good choice.

Yeah it really is. These cheap gaskets were free so i figured what the hell.
I got the drivers header off. Lost daylight and decided to wait till today to finish it. Hopefully this takes care of the leak.

I'm gonna double check everything and re-tighten the bolts. Hopefully that helps.

Very good. Nice to see the wife getting down and dirty 
Too bad you still have a leak somewhere. Maybe you should run a little seafoam in the intake to create smoke. See if it leaks from anywhere on the headers. I did that on my 88 Ranger and found a few leaks that i never would have noticed.

Yeah. I have tried to teach a friend of mine how to work on his own car. I would be scared to let him change the oil even. But he just has no will to learn anything...
Hopefully you can get the leak worked out. Maybe it isn't up at the heads but further down somewhere.

I have noticed that myself. I'm almost afraid to ever post over there they are so rude/mean most of the time.
