Have I ever mentioned before how much I hate headers on a street car?
I'm a bit out of practice, haven't had them off in 3 1/2 years and still took just two hours to get this far.
I was actually surprised at the condition of the header gaskets. These headers were not designed to use with raised port heads so we had to improvise to get them to work. I had some issues initially getting a gasket to seal up and work and this last set did pretty good. Only areas with signs of leakage were on # 6 and # 8 both due to bolts coming loose.
I bought a different set of gaskets this go around but now thinking I may go back with this part # again when it goes back together.
I'm not sure how this car was even running...by the look of the plugs...
3.5 years and about 5,000 very hard track miles on those plugs...the last part of that running very rich. It'll get a fresh set and fresh oil before it fires back up once again.
