Edelbrock header gaskets suck??
Ok, tonight i raced some high end BMW coupe. Yeah it was fast. Got me by about 1.5 car spaces. Anyway, afterwards my engine started ticking! Ticking would increase as i accelerated. I did manage to find a couple of loose header bolts on the passengers side. Which i did tighten. Ok, the ticking is not as loud as it was ,but it is still there. Very faint, but annoying.LOL. Is it possible that i may have blown out a header gasket? They are only two months old. Do they leak? Or could it be that my valves need adjustment? Anyone?

The exhaust that the loose bolts allowed to leak out could have eroded the gaskets.

i got tired of blowing out paper header gaskets (that's what i get for having cheap headers) and went with copper gaskets. no issues again.
