I just got the falcon back running today, and she runs awesome, but firing it up at night i noticed a problem. The last cylinder exhaust gasket is leaking so bad, i can see fire going from inside the cylinder down into the exhaust port. The exhaust gasket is newer too, so maybe i have a bigger problem than i think? It looks like about a 1/16 inch gap all the way around the gasket area. Ive read that people use 2 copper exhaust gaskets to fix the problem because the old manifolds warp over time? I didnt see it leaking around the other ports, and the last one is the only one air was coming from. What have you guys done to fix this problem before?
Id like to get one of those exhaust port dividers when i replace the gasket, whats the general opinion on this being a worthy upgrade?
Also, is it normal for actual fire to blow from the exhaust port? Only happens when free revving it and letting off, i assume its a bit rich and thats causing it.
