cripes...blowing apart a socket...i usually break off the bolt head first..get snap-on https://www.nopistons.com/forums/pub...#>/biggrin.png
as for penetrating oils....use something called Kroil if you can find it if not use liquid torch or liquid wrench...wd-40 does not work |
I use PEN, stuff is awesome.

The header should come with the gaskets (mine did from Racing Beat) but maybe I ordered it like that.
The HARDEST part was getting that GD MF heat shield off the factory manifold. I didn't remove my intake, but that would have made things MUCH easier. Anyway a couple of hours is all it takes. I did presoak all my bolts the day before. |

I'll do what I can with what I've got, which doesn't include a torch. Got word from the seller, should arrive tomorrow. I can't beleive I'm this excited about an ugly piece of metal.

just some fyi in case you find yourself in need of one https://www.nopistons.com/forums/pub...IR#>/smile.png I believe they advertise it as a cutting/brazing torch... |
something just scares me about using an open flame under a car, where there's oil and grease and gas and other stuff...I'm just a weenie when it comes to stuff that I don't know anything about, and can easily result in chaos
|
chaos is fun, but i dunno if i want to be stuck under a car with fire
mike |
oh yeah the heater shields are a bitch too
|
my gasket was still silver when I took off the manifold, so I didn't replace it.
