Ok I just got MAC LTs and o/r H pipe installed yesterday and today when I moved my car I saw the oil was leaking. What could that be?

There aren't any oil seals around the headers. Did you bolt your dipstick tubeback into place? If it's loose or slightly pulled out of the pan then it will leak.

Yeah I think that's the problem. I'll check it this week.

How easy are longtubes to bolt on without droppin the block?

Lt's should take no more than 3 hours to install. It's easy.

Aight...
Thanks...
Have u heard anything about the reuseable header gaskets?
Do they work alright and are they worth the money?

Don't reuse header gaskets.
