Having trouble getting the dang driver side header in. I thought the hard side would be the passenger side. Au Contraire. Been at it for 15 minz. Any suggestions on driver side install technique? I have an 02 Camaro Ls1 M6. In the meantime I'll just keep trying.

 

I would go ahead and change the plugs since you're in there anyways. You run the risk of crackin a plug off with the headers or manifolds if you don't take them out. and yes I would go ahead and put some anti seize on them also, next time you change your plugs you won't have to fight them nearly as much.

Also put some di-electric grease on your plug wires to make them easier to come off in the future, and yes that goofy spring is normal too.

 

I try to put antiseze on any bolt (steel) going into aluminum. I put antiseze on my arp header studs too.

 

Always do this if you ever want to be able to remove them.

 

OK guys, thanks for your help.
