Did you use the bolts that came with the headers to attach them to the head?

If so, take them out and throw them away! Pacesetter has had some trouble with sending bolts that are too long and bottom out in the head.

You can reuse the factory bolts that held the manifolds to the head and torque them to 18-22 ft lb.

Hope this helps. Good luck, man.
