o.k. here is the report:
all bolts came out without issue, as did the two nuts
the intake manifold was already ground due to the fact that there was a header there in the first place
the new header was indeed a total bolt-on replacement
except for the collector being ever so slightly...
I am planning to install (as a replacement for a cracked MAF 2x3into1 header, also called 6into1) the exact same model new from MAF
I remember the copper gasket sealer for the manifold gasket, but what was the verdict on 2 versus 1 gaskets?
Ed, Poser......?
Thanks in advance :cheers:
