Yeah i used new bolts torqued to spec in sequence. It started running rough after a cold start, that's why I started replacing stuff/ head gasket.
It had an exhaust manifold leak on both sides (snapped stud each side), i replaced the studs, used manifold gaskets and maniseal, but the left header has a crack in it, and the flanges are leaking because i couldn't tighten them up properly, will get a long shank socket to nip them up today. Maybe it is O2 sensor related. Hope so that would be an easy fix.
