I'm afraid the gasket has pivoted on just one or two bolts and the others are holding it out of alignment. There's no way of telling which one's are actually inline and which are the problem.

You're gonna have to start over- use some gasket adhesive or RTV to keep it from shifting. Otherwise everytime you start the car you'll be wondering "Is that a leak I'm hearing?"

My headers have blood on them too. I found my best solution for the bolts on top under the alternater was a 13mm racheting box wrench. Using that I didn't have to disassemble anything else.

Remember- you're having fun!
