As for beating me... We will see I may have to disconnect the VVL just to make it a fair run.

It didnt matter how tight they were.

Finally switched them out and never had an issue again.

Just weld a bead at the end of the pipes and your good to go. I don't even weld a full bead, three beads about a inch long is all you need.

Some T-bolt clamps actually crush the pipe and cause a leak.

I dont even do that, If the end is not a bead rolled end already then i just take a pair of pliers and flare the end of the pipe all the way around and works perfect. That mixed with t-bolts ive never had issues. Just dont over tighten the t-bolts and you will be fine.
