How To Stainless Works Headers

[Riddick]

I can’t seem to figure out how to post the original file so hope you can see these pics.

For future reference, when all else fails you can go by size and grade for torque specs

Pics are broken for me? Does anyone have another install write-up? This sounds like quite a process to remove and install the exhaust. Whew. Was hoping it would be easier as I'd like to do this someday!

Hey does anyone know how to get to the bottom header bolts? I can tighten the top 4 and two of the bottom ones but I can’t figure out a way to get to the the two middle bottom bolts to tighten them down?

Several lengths of extensions and swivels. Patience and a friend help too.

sorry for tagging everyone. just trying to figure out the best tactic here. I know this is an old post, but question as I'm in the middle of putting in long tubes myself. where did you lift the engine from? if you jacked it on the oil pan, where did you do that from? back by the drain plug? or up towards the front? or another location?

ended up putting a piece of wood on the front half of the lower part of the pan. by the drain plug. I removed the lower cross brace. seemed easier that way to have access.

When i first did it I placed the wood more in the middle of that lowest part (big piece of wood) and the jack was in the middle i was trying to watch the motor movement vs the jack movement (so i don't crush the pan). wasnt happy. so i moved the jack to be more on the passengers side and by the corner, figuring the corner/vertical part would be the "strongest" or least likely to move.

I may have moved the lower middle part of the pan slightly. when i'm done, I'm going to do an oil change. while its empty, i'm going to try and look in the oil drain hole and make sure there is space between the pan and the oil pickup. I would hate to do all this just to F it all up and blow the motor.
