That sputtering sound could be coming from any number of places. If it turns out to be the exhaust header gasket, have THEM R&R. They can probably do it without removing the header as long as the old gasket material comes out in 1 piece or can be putty-knifed clean. Then it’s just a matter of sliding the new gasket in, getting one bolt started (I recommend ARP while you’re at it), line it up, get a 2nd bolt started, the remaining bolts will line up and go in.Not fun at all and definitely a huge hassle, but with 2 guys on it and on a lift, shouldn’t take more than couple hours. Well worth it IMO to let the pro’s tackle it with their equipment, tools and “tricks of the trade”! I’m sure they’ve come across this or similar before and can bang it out, thereby saving you the hassle and headache/stress.Good luck and keep us posted!</blockquote>
