Header leak
What problems, if any could be caused by running a car for several thousand miles with a header leak.... Other then the fuel ratio being off as in rich or lean.

Re: Header leak (Bluewasp)
A small header leak is not going to throw off your A/F ratio. Other than being really annoying, no harm that I can think of, unless the leak is aimed at a plug boot or something.
Try installing Stage 8 stainless steel locking header bolts. Little bit of a pain to put on, but once installed, you NEVER have to tighten them again, and you'll never blow a gasket out. They're only about $40.
