I replaced my cracked manifold a few weeks ago b/c the XJ was getting terrible mileage (13.5mpg city and it's a stock vehicle). So, I installed an APN header and for the life of me, I can't get it to stop leaking at the crush pipe connection. The metal "seal" is in there and I can't tighten the bolts anymore if I wanted to. It leaks out of the sides - ie - the bolts are a top-and-bottom configuration, so the leaks shoot towards the oil pan and the frame. This basically puts me back where I started!!! Can you buy replacement seals at autozone? If so, what is it called? I took it all apart today and tried to get it to sit in perfectly straight, but that still didn't help. Is there any sort of "gasket maker" that can handle that type of heat?
