Default might of messed up!!!

well i sprayed nitrous today and afterwards my engine was ticking pretty bad. took a little better look and it might be the header gasket becuase all the bolts were loose. gonna change them tomorrow and hope thats it. but the weird thing is i drove home a few minutes ago and my engine light came on. would a bad header gasket leak cause the engine light to come on or yall think there is something wrong with it.

Not very likely, see what code(s) you have...are you sure you didnt get a lean spike? Check your plugs.

I don't think so. I didn't take a good look at it because I used it as a really good excuse to swap engines like I've been wanting to. I'm gonna tear into it this weekend and see if anything actually happened.
