My baby is fixed

Whew, the past seven days have been hell, I burned up my header paper gasket. Finally got the gaskets today and fixed it. Yay, no more tapping sound, it was so **** annoying, and I bought copper gaskets so i shouldn't have this problem again. My baby sounds like the beast she is again, LOL!!!

what kind of tapping was it? I'm wondering if mine might be on their way out then, because I hear just a bit of that in the exhaust.

Open your hood and pull on your throttle lever, you will hear the tapping down by your headers. It's a light tapping at idle and gets louder and faster the more you increase the throttle

I changed my gaskets from paper to copper. Their more expensive but their reusable and don't burn up like the paper gaskets
