Well, my little drip turned in to aunt flow after installing the header. I'm sure I must have moved a tube or two by my careful installation (IMG:style_emoticons/default/smash.gif) .
looks pretty easy to change these. Any gotchas ? And what sealant if any is the preferred. |

As long as this is being discussed...is it possible (and smart) to check the torque on the head bolts to ensure they're correct while doing the seals?

Not like a type1. They pull out through the head. |
