Leaking Header!!!

Leaking Header!!!
i got a picco/omega XT .12 Rear exhaust engine on my car and it's leaking fuel out the header. Im using a novarossi .12 header. The gap around the rear exhaust of the motor is pretty big. Is this normal or do i need a different header ? Or bigger rubber spacer?

Leaks?
I use the same header on my MT .12 and sometimes I'll get a leak on the bottom. And it's caused by me brushing a wall on the pipe side (not that I ever do that! lol)You probley checked this but if the header isn't perfectly straight it wont seal. You can also use a dab of sensor safe Hi temp silicone. But just use a small amount.

r r r (seals)
rd logics makes a orange header seal and it works on my picco try one and see..

I use A/C "O" rings for sealing, they last long than the regular gaskets made by any brand and won't leak any drop of nitro on my car,

Picco exhaust outlet ports are smaller than most others. You need a Picco specific exhaust header and a Picco gasket (also different than most).

The Black O.S. Gaskets seem to last longer than any others.
Using a second spring on the Header to keep the Exhaust piping from moving around and this helps too.

for some reason Picco makes their exhaust outlet smaller than the Rossi's But then again, maybe they are hoping for header sales as well
