Can anyone tell if they have had problems using a copper gasket on the header to turbo gasket and how tight did you take it?I just did mine and tightened good before cranking it up and have a small leak some friends have said I may have tightened up to much and should have snugged it up then tightened after running it anyone?:confused: thanks
 
I usually tighten as tite as i can using 3/8 drive. ln the past 4yrs notice copper gaskets split after 6mos or so . cheaper metal?
 
I tightened mine 3 separate times immediately after a good heat soaking (30+ minute drive). That was 7 years ago and it's still good. :)
 
I use a good smear of Ultra Copper on both sides of gasket and tighten with a combo wrench...no leaks...
