Default Pacesetter guys please help.....

ive already installed the drivers side header but i was wondering what is the best/easiest way to put the passenger side header in? i tried putting it in from the top but it didnt work. i removed the valve cover and there still wasnt enough room. so the only way i can think of is to put em in from under the car. if you guys have an easier way, let me know. Thanx.

i didnt get it in through the top, i had to do it from the bottom. but the passenger side looks like its crampt more then the driver side, thats why i wanted to see what the easiest way to get the passenger side in was.

Take the heat shielding off to give a little more room, mine practically flew up there, it looks worse than the drivers side but in reality was very easy

Nope didnt have to touch the shielding>. Maybe having the car on the lift at work made the difference but on my car wasnt even close.

yea on a lift it would help, since i was on the ground i could only tilt the headers so much, and the sheidling got in the way.

Temp gauge not moving you either forgot to plug in the temp sensor, it's infront of the first header tube on the drivers side, or the wires got damaged

tilt the bottom of the header towards the tranny and slide it up in there, you need that **** HIGH though almost dangerous high
