Ticking?

Um. yes. You need all the bolts/studs on the headers. Don't leave any behind.

If you completely missed one bolt/stud, just get one and put it in. No sense in changing the gasket when you didn't seal it right to begin with.

This will also jack with your tune. After I fixed my header leak my a/f went from a solid 11.4-11.5 to an awesome 12.5:1 a/f. Not sure if you have a wideband (you should) but it's something to look for.

Problem exists between seat and steering wheel. it's not a bolt issue, it's a loose screw.
 
Which is worse.. a guy that replaces a TC, drive chain and flex plate to cure a flex issue or a guy that leaves one or two bolts out?

You guys are both NUTZ
