Default My pacesetters took a ****!! PIX inside
i was driving home when i heard this huge bang!!! i pulled over popped my hood and all i could hear is this huge tapping noise coming from the pass. side, it sounded just like my rocker was tapping against my valve cover i turned it off and thought to myself, **** i just fucked up one of my rockers or bent a push rod or fucked up my whole motor!!!!!! i didn't look at it again, had it towed to my home, came out this morning was gonna take it apart when i run it back on to see where exactly was it tapping and i see THIS...






now i need to shop for headers... any feed back on the Texas Speed 1 7/8" headers????

Doesn't have to do with the coating. My EGR connection broke on my stainless headers.

Should be a $20 fix if you want to keep 'em
