Alright, so I took my exhaust manifold off and did not replace the gaskets,
Missing 2 studs off the head(1 on each port). I was wondering of replacing the gaskets would stop the exhuast leak for sure.

Any input would be great, thanks.

and probably mill the exhaust manifold flange if its warped... no amount of gaskets will fix a warped flange.
