does anybody know what could cause my car to blow out 2 brand new oil pan gaskets in 3 days? me and a buddy put a new gasket on tuesday, took the car out, ran fine, then the gasket blew out right below my header. so we put another gasket on wednesday morning and let the rtv cure for almost 30 hours before we put oil in and started it. i start driving it today after i picked it up and it blew out the new gasket again in the exact same spot. i dont know if my aftermarket header is getting so hot that its melting the gasket or my pan is slighty warped. the only performance mods i have done to the car are DC SPORTS 4-1 HEADER, OBX HIGH FLOW CATALYTIC CONVERTER, CATBACK EXHAUST, AND A COLD AIR INTAKE. if anyone has any ideas im open to them. im completely stumped and i want my car running and oil leak free. thanks

I would check to see if the oil pan is warped first.Oil pans are easy to warp if you have tightend it down to much. If that is not it try a better quality gasket.
