23711, Installing Header(s) (Search wasn't working)
Posted by BeefGG, May-23-02 10:51 AM
My headers should be at my door tommorrow. What all do I need to know about intalling them? I've got the gaskets and a lot of people have told me to be careful about braking bolts.... How hard is this going to be?

I would expect it to take an afternoon to remove the stock stuff and get the new parts in. Just use alot of WD-40 and let it soak for an hour. Everything should come right out. The cat converter bolts may be a problem. Air tool can help there, if you have them. If you play with the settings in the search, you can get results. Play with the dates and select archived threads. I have trouble with it too; but I can always get it working when I play with the settings.

If you can do it in the morning. That way the car is nice and cold.
And use jack stands on your car. Don't just use a jack.
Also be very careful when removing the o2 sensor. If you do need a o2 sensor the one for the neon DOHC 2.0 will work. One place I went to wanted $167 for the eclipse N/T o2 sensor. The neon cost my $67. Why it was so much more for the eclipse I don't know.
Good luck.
What kind of header did you get?
