Re: '99 TJ redline after header install (resolved)
Hmmmmm food for thought..... thanks, Bill. We took a look at it when
we had everything loosened back up, looking for the problem, and the

again.

Spray a bit of TB cleaner on and around the gasket with the engine
running. If the rpm changes you have a leak.
