TTI coated headers for a small block

Mine was tight the last time I pulled it, and I used the antiseize too. Maybe TTI has a technique. You could try their website TTIexhaust.com.

Thanks for the post, I will try that.

Is that your vert in your avatar? I need to see more pictures!

Just called them, and they have "never heard of this problem." I hate that answer, even if it is true, which I doubt.
