header bolt question...
ok, so i finally installed my pacesetters....and when i first tighetend the header bolts, i tightened the living **** out of em, they were VERY tight...
should i run the car for a while and try to tighten them more?
i mean driver side aint bad, but if i have to take the coil packs back off to get to the header bolts on pass side...well...kill me
any suggestions, or will it be fine?!?!?
THANKS

Any brand of header installed should be retorqued after a good warm up and run time to make sure as the metal gets hot and cold it doesn'e cause a leak. I understand you not wanting to have to redo the pass side but how much would you hate it if a month down the road you had to remove the entire header to replace the gasket? I would think a little work now is much better than a lot of work later.
