crossthreading. well it get really tight really quick basically. the bolt still has a long ways to go but it gets really tight. are you using stock bolts or bolts supplied? if u are using the stock ones put them back in the hole you took them out from if they are new you might want to tap the holes first to clean up the thread. oh and as far as jacking up the motor yeah just loosen the mount and lift it up.

You will need to use 2 washers between the header bolts and the headers, unless you got new bolts for the headers. Because the headers are not as thick as the Stock manifolds, The bolts will bottom out and not thighten.
HELP ASAP..this is getting annoying ok, i got the screw a little less than half way in easily, then it got tight to the point where i can still thread it w/ the smallest socket wrench so if i were to up it to a 1/4 inch it would be easy again b/c of the leverage...however the rest of the bolts went in easier...also i backed it out to take a look at the threads on the screw after getting it half way and they looked normal so should i just keep torqueing away?
