so im driving down the road this morning, get on it, the get off it, and i hear a bad ticking sound. i immediately thought, "ugh. motor is done." it sounded like a valve. so i pulled into work, checked it, and it seems the header has blown the flange gasket at the 4-2 collector flange. its an egay header, so does anyone know where i could find this gasket or how to fix it?
