I'm about to install long tubes on my car, I have 91XXX miles on it, n I've been spraying the bolts down with penetrating oil for the past couple of days I'm going to be takin them out Tom or wed... has anyone had a bolt break off in the head, or should I not worry so much???

I did a header swap on a 130,xxxmi car with NO problems.I have done a few header installs on ls1s they where all fairly easy. I wouldn't worry to much.

Never a bolt in the head. But the studs/nuts connecting the manifolds to the cats, snapped more than one right off.

Pulling the manifolds off and throwing long tubes on as I text but was wondering how many bolts/screws were in each coil pack rack. I have 7 off on the passenger side and unpluged the harness and wired and it still won't give. Am I missing anything?

i had 5 bolts on each side, pass. and driver... did you get the very back bolt right by the firewall? that one is def. a bitch, it took me longer to do that bolt then to get the pass. side spark plug out or the manifold bolt... lol but im pretty sure i only had 5, what year is your Z?

I had 5 on there but I had to pull the 4th coil pack to see the last bolt. I got both manifolds out last night and tried to the passenger side header in and it slipped right in but when I tried to bolt it up the bolt pattern and header just looked a bit off.

Its a 2001 and I'm using pacesetters. Anybody else have this problem before?

I've installed 3 sets of the pacesetter lt's with no problems. The only thing I had to disconnect was the steering shaft. I left every thing else in place. Bolts always lined up fine for me.

I broke the head off on a 100k car (that sucked). Sprayed PB blaster on the rest of the bolts and had no problems. You'll be fine since yours have been soaking for the past couple days

yeah im going to be putting on pacesetters also, just waiting on the guy to bring his car by so i can swap out parts... very excited! but im also changing the plugs n wires seeing how they look to be the stockers... i plan on going with msd 8.5mm and ac delco iridium spark plugs from summit, anyone running those plugs? ac delco is a good name brand and i have faith in them, just curious...

I already installed them. Turned out to be I panel on the bottom in my way. Bent it and they slipped in with ease. Also got my k member and other parts put in still more to do but the k member is an a**load of work and well worth the reward lol.

I just pulled my ac delco iridiums out and they were pretty good. Only had them for about 2500 miles but figured I might as well with my new setup. Went with ngk iridiums. Ngk enough said. Have my cam, intake/tb, nitrous and rest of suspension to get in and see what she does.
