I finished grinding out some half circles in order to make room for the spark plug heat shields, but other then that , I've been so busy with work that I haven't had a chance to install them. I'll let you know as soon as I install them.

 

Yup stage 8 bolts and remflex gaskets. With the stage 8 bolts you don't need to retorque. the worse bolt is the 4th I believe, on the drivers side it's a bitch.

 

Aim4squirrels blew to sets of remflex gaskets. He ended up using some Fel-Pro's gaskets.

 

I love mine. Only reason I got a second set is cause I tore the first set up when I pulled the headers for the rebuild. That and they had some cracking due to the shape of the heads. I emailed them and they sent me a replacement set. I plan on running a set on my mustang when that day comes.

 

i had to re-torque one or two because i installed the locking tab on the wrong side of the tube.

 

broke 5? heck with that lol. Would have been a good excuse to buy a set of iron ram eq's lmao.

Only trouble we ran into was one of the studs in the middle (nut came off and left the stud). Luckly the veteran header installer gave me a hand (bluebeast2) and it came right out with some heat. The other bolt was a down tube bolt that he knocked off with a grinder.

 

i didnt have to soak my bolts.. they came right out ust untightened.. they were tight just no problems with breaking

 

Same with mine. That's only because we live in warm sunny states.
