RK Sport Header install
Friday, February 01, 2008 8:30 PM
OK guys, I just got the old header off. That was the biggest pain in the ass ever. All the bolts were rusted on the manifolds and what not. Well the next thing to do is install the new header. My question is, how do I get it in the car, the top or bottom?

I put my Pacesetter in through the top. What engine are you dealing with?

to put it on my car and my sisters i just un bolted the lower engine mount and got a pry bar and pryed the engine forward and had another person slide it down in between the engine and the fire wall... once its down there you can let the engine go back and go back up to the top and move it around onto the studs... i cant remember why i didnt go from under the car but im sure there was a reason..

One thing you might want to get done to it first, is take it to a machine shop and have them plan the head flange to make sure its perfectly flat... i had problems of it being warped when i got it new and it leaked, so before i put it on my sisters cavalier i had it planned and it doesnt leak at all now.

sounds like a good idea. It looks pretty beat up anyways, so I was thinking that would have been a good idea.
