3.4 header install checklist =)

[tkoforpresident]

Do i have everything i need for my 93 3.4 header install?

Pacesetter headers

Stage 8 locking bolts

Fel Pro Fiero Header Gaskets

roughly 500$ for installation money, (it appears i may have to have a shop do the work as my friend is ever so busy) =( though i will certainly try to avoid that.

Any tips on soaking the manifold bolts a night before?

Any thing else i might need?

thanx

if your going to do it your self soak the bolts every day for mabe a week or so, the last thing you want is to break off a bolt, it cost alot of money to have that fixed.... that is if you can find a shop willing to do it.... most wont touch it. if your too worried about breakin a bolt let the shop put the headers on that way if one breaks its their problem.

I was talking to someone this weekend. He suggested soaking the gasket in water the night before. You put it on soaking wet, and when you run the car it's suppose to dry out and shrink to fit. I've never heard of it before.

On my car, we used high-temp RTV in addition to the gasket that came with the headers.

the gasket is metal, would that even do anything??

should i buy some RTV and even if a shop installs it i can ask them to put it on for me?

Like I said, I had never heard of this trick before. Maybe someone else can jump in.

Can't hurt. The worst that will happen is that they will say the prefer not to and you are out the cost of the tube.
