I noticed last night that when I mount my headers in place the exhaust studs are too long...well they have a skinny unthreaded area in the middle and the nut would bottom out before touching the header flanges. If all nuts were tight the header would still not fit tightly to the block. Here's a pic..

Doug,
The thermal reactors used on the 2.7 required a thicker flange. You can get a good set of studs to replace them by going to Metric and Multistandard in Irving. They are right near Texas Stadium. They have the correct studs in stock. They also have a 25.00 minimum purchase for credit cards. Either take cash or stock up on other stuff while you are at it. I went there yesterday. Didn't have cash, and the closest ATM is in a Topless bar on Harry Hines blvd. I would be getting serious (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/chair.gif) from the wife if I got money out of an ATM in a topless bar. |
