Headers install guide

[ReodDai]

Anyone got an install guide for 3.8l pacesetter's on a 00' fbody?

[tdaddyz]

use the one for rksport headers in the modification reviews

[ReodDai]

Im looking for specifics to the pacesetter design... not the rksport leaking headers, everything has its own little squarks that need to be accounted for.

Matt I know you know how to put these things on, gimme a write up =)

That is a pretty good write up. Bo, I just used the instructions that Pacesetter provided, they were pretty decent and seemed to be vehicle specific, not just a general instruction set.

How about unbolt the old ones and bolt the new ones in?

Clark: If that is pacesetter's instructions I'm in trouble lol.

Matt: Good enough for me then, those instructions and other random ones around the web should be good enough. I've heard you need to pull down on the y-pipe when you install it to make sure it doesn't hit anything once the exhaust is all hooked up.

Loochy: Thanks for the write up very helpful, that and the instructions should keep me from removing something I should have (drops engine on foot *DAMN* drops transmission on leg *DAMN DAMN* )

Before you tighten the flange bolts, you always wanna have the rest at least in place where it will hang after you're done. That way when you finish hooking everything up, the adjustments are already and you don't have to unhook everything and redo it.

Hardest part was probably taking off the old heat shields, nothing serious, but they are a PITA. And it's recommended that you torque the header bolt starting from the inside around the middle cylinder, and work out from there to insure a good seal.

Did it come with new gaskets or do I need to go order some?
And stop surfing the net at work lol

It comes with them, and they are a "squishy" gasket for lack of a better term, not the metal sheet ones that come on the car.

And that's why I love my job, THIS IS MY JOB!

So when do I get a cool job like that? [img]graemlins/fluffy.gif[/img]
