Finally got the old exchangers off. What a gigantic PITA. I figured they'd fall right off after removing the exhaust stud bolts, but noooooooo. It took about 1 hour of coaxing per side (and a ton of cursing) before they let go.

i did his same conversion except with non-ss HE's and I felt a difference in performance. I do have a small exhaust leak on the driver side. can't seem to get rid of it. am wondering if maybe the head surface is compromised because i can't get it to seal correctly even with new copper gaskets. I did have to helicoil one stud because one of the old studs came out with the threads...
those ss HE's are nice!! |
