What did you use to plug the lines? Are they rubber hoses or what?

Hey:

They came in a pkg of about 10 Rubber covers from autozone, about 5 different sizes, approx 1/2", two needed, not much else, you can remove the rest.

Hey:

Get at least 1 or 2 buddies to help you and be careful to wipe/clean all the fingerprints off the headers before you start it or they will have permanent imprints in the headers once they get hot.

Hey:

From post #17 item 1,
1 ea. 12" o2 ext for 94-97 pass side, is all I needed for my LPP headers.

How is the install coming?

Thanks, I wasn't sure if "1 ea" meant 1 for each, or 1 total.

I haven't started the install yet, but the headers and y pipe are here now. I just have some odds and ends on my list of things to get before I start the install. I will probably do them sometime early next month or something like that.

I also am wondering. Do the lines that I am capping let oil flow through them or coolant? Are they under pressure? If so, how will just capping them off work if they are under pressure?

Thanks for putting up with my noob questions!

Hey:

Oil and no pressure you are removing all of it.
The caps are plugging the holes left that oil was in so it does not blow all up under your car. You put the oil filter spin on,back on after getting shorter bolts back in place of the oil cooler, then you are done after removing the oil level sensor in the pan, just ty wrap it up out of the way. You also need to heat shield or heat wrap the fuel lines .

Thank you for all of your help! What exactly am I looking at in that picture though? I don't have to leave the oil level sensor out of the pan do I?

Hey:

The pic is how close the fuel lines come near the ORY.
The sensor may be able to stay in the pan, but the connection has to be removed as it will be melted if left in place, you will know better after you get started on it.
