Sanding down the block
No I am not sanding down the block to lose weight
but I am installing a set of headers for my friend and all was going real well until we got to the passenger side MAC header. For some damn reason I can't get it out. I know some people say to remove the valve cover and it'll slide through the top, but I am really not in the mood to take the valve cover off and put on a new gasket (never done it before too)
Anyhow there is a small block about 1"x1"x.5" down in the lower corner passenger side near the firewall attached to the motor, and this damn little block is what is not allowing the Mac to slide out the bottom.
Now my question is, can I go at this small block with a file or dremel and sand the bad boy down a little till the Mac can slide out, or is this something important that I shouldn't be messing with?
Thanks!
