3620, Header install....
Posted by Niclipse, Jun-17-01 10:24 AM
Ok, yesterday and today my friends and I installed the pacesetter headers. It was a long dragged out process with one trouble after the other... like one problem was we crosthreaded a head, so had to get a "heelie" something and a "tap" and air compressor and shit to make a new thread. Yadda yadda yadda. Anyway, my headers are on, but one of the bolts are stripped so, it's leaking air pretty bad. I gotta go to satan tommorow anyway because im getting my timing belt done and my afx pulley installed. So whyen I go im gonna get them to put a new screw in.

So, my header is leaking pretty bad (by the way, we reused my old gasket.) You think the reason I don't notice any power gain from the headers is because of the leak? I mean, I THINK i feel a little something around 60mph, but VERY minimal.

Lemme know.

never reuse the same gasket again. if I were you, I would get a new one and redo it again.
