i have said it b4.....will say it again........the best way to put em in is to remove/loosen the MM pedestals.......it will give you ALL kinds of wiggle room

Hardest part of my poly install was breaking the clams loose... Are you just doing mm or headers as well? Like said above though don't tighten ANYTHING until all is in place
