Ok LC Gurus,
Here’s the deal, I’m putting my freshly rebuilt 1975 2F back together and I need my headers to seal up right this time. I’ve always had trouble getting a correct seal on the intake and headers (at least since my dad put headers on it when he owned it).
At the advice of my mechanic, I’ve cut the main bar of the headers to hopefully allow them to pull up tighter. He machined my intake facing which had a minor warp.
Now my next question is should I grind down the inner mating area of the exhaust ports to a more flat surface?
Also, are these the correct studs and are they installed properly? I’ve read about shouldered studs but I’m not sure if these are “shouldered” or not.
All but the middle two appear to not be seated properly (to me).
