Header leaks/headaches/heartburn

Hey gang,

I've been having problems with my Mopar headers leaking lately. The main
culprit seems to be the passenger side header, where it connects to the
Y-pipe. The bottom bolt/nut are the hardest ones to get to, and always seem
to rust/loosen/leak. I've replaced the 5 grades with 8 grades, and still
have the problem with leaking at the gasket. (Can't keep them tight).

What are you old pro's running to keep these things tight? Would a simple
pinch of locktite do the trick??? Do I need to use a liquid gasket material
instead of a regular gasket?

I'd appreciate any suggestions and advice!
