    There are gaskets between the head and header (or should be) that may need to be replaced. Simple and cheap fix as long as the nuts aren't corroded on or overtightened. When you get it apart you may THINK there are no gaskets there. LOOK CAREFULLY they get pounded and baked into the head to the point where they look like they're part of it.

    Double the Donuts and "Treat" them with Exhaust Gasket Spray.

    Get some Permatex Hi-Temp and put a couple of coats on the Donuts.

    Shoot some of the Gasket Spray in a Tuna Can and "Paint" the Seating area for the Donuts ... so, ... when you put the Donuts in the Cylinder Head ... the ONLY way out for gases it through the Pipes.
