I also cut the metal bars between the ports because I read that would help to prevent any metal warpage from unsealing the ports. Must have done something right because I installed the headers around 1999 and they've sealed perfectly ever since. |

Re: What did you do to your truck today.The 3rd chapter
Oh yea, it has kind of warmed up around here today so I waxed the truck.
Stuff still hasn't dried as of this writing. Thought I'd give the ladder a try to wax the roof and clean the windshield for some reason. That worked out OK. |

Re: What did you do to your truck today.The 3rd chapter
God I hope not, now that I've posted they'll probably start leaking. ...I got some spares standing by. Drove my '69 Nova from Mississippi to Washington one time and the engine started knocking! Every steep hill I climbed the knock got louder and I just knew a rod was coming out the side of the block at any moment! Made it home and discovered that some stupid header bolts had come loose. ETA: As a side note I've never had to re-tighten these header bolts, as a matter of fact, I never even checked them so the bolts are probably rusted in the heads by now...great. Heck I always thought they needed to be tightened again from time to time. Last edited by BRL; 05-04-2024 at 01:17 AM. |
