Can't tighten Header bolt !!!
Can't tighten Header bolt !!!
I have a set of Edlebrock TES on my car, and I was never able to tighten down the back bolt on the passenger side. I really want to get it tight, cause I have a little oil leak and am afraid oil might get into the exhaust. Has anyone put these in and had this problem, if so how did you get to it
?? HELP PLEASE!

Get the bolt from underneath the header and use a 5/16" wrech flipped over. Just reach right under the header from the front of the passenger side if you don't have passenger side A/C. Takes patience but it can be done.
P.S. Get a stubby wrench if you have mega mega trouble.

I tightened my from underneath the car but was easy to get at because I had the transmission and starter out. I still think you can get it from the bottom. You might have to remove the starter to get your hand up in there. Good luck!
