Getting ready to attach the heat changers to my heads that came from HAM.
Doesn't appear that they are going fit right up easily. Does anybody have any tips or tricks for getting them to fit? Do they normally require some convincing to go on? |

loosely attach everything, the h/e muffler bracket, muffler.
then progressively tighten the h/e with a 1/4 ratchet handle so you don't get tempted to over tighten the nuts. then tighten the muffler and then the bracket. before you take it off the jack stands start it up and listen for leaks [you''ll have some] then loosen and adjust for the leaks. if a leak is on one of the h/e stub connections you can loosen one nut and tighten the other to get it to seal. |
