yep, another header and mm install.
another :worship: to Brown Dog. what else can i say that hasnt already been said .. other than: all companies should be like that.
the APN header went in with a little angle grinder action to the intake manifold. tubes 1&6 were contacting the intake. fortunately, i read about it before hand and wasnt surprised when it happened.
gasket that came from APN, got upgraded to a felpro from Napa.
one question tho - maybe it's been covered but -
the new APN header flanges are thicker than stock intake manifold flanges. so the surfaces are not aligned and bolts/washers spanning across both manifolds are on an bit of an angle.
I torqued about 5 lbs over spec, in proper order. with the exception of the 2 bottom bolts closest to firewall, couldnt get a torque wrench down there.
anyone having issues with the misalignment?
wise to retorque after a few weeks?
