cripes...blowing apart a socket...i usually break off the bolt head first..get snap-on
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

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 just took a small cutting torch to the heat sheild, **** those small corroded bolts.

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 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
