Default miscelaneous header questions

1) What bolts require anti seize?

2) Do the o2's need anti seize?

3) Does anyone have pictures/suggestions as to how on earth im going to get the car 22" in the air safely (and as cheaply as possible)? I currently have a standard jack that will get the car up in the air 13" and 2 ton basic jack stands that will go maybe 18". I know im going to have to use some lumber in there somewhere for extra height.

4) My car is an 02 with 30k on the clock. Am I ok to resuse my stock header gaskets?

What kind of headers you putting on? I only had to jack my car up around 16" off the ground to put mine on.

Ya, I didnt have my car up that high, probably 16-18 inches. I put some blocks of wood on the jack for a little extra height. Headers might take some work to get in though.

i had a lift to put mine on, so i cant help you there, but i didnt use antiseize on my bolts or O2's. my bolts never came loose either. i got back under there and tightned them about a week after i put them on and that was it. i checked them yesterday and they were fine. i dont plan on messing with them till i get to school and make my custom stainless headers.

You should always us antiseize on the bolts your putting steel bolts into an alum. head. You won't know you have a problem until you go to remove them and they won't come out.
