Hey all thanks for looking, I have a question, i just put in T.E.S Edelbrock headers and i cant get to the last one on the passenger side by the fire wall to tighten all the way. What do people typically do to tighten this. thanks in advance for any help Dan-

 

jack up the motor i think, not quite that far on my install yet though to know for sure.

Use a box wrench and get it from underneith. It helps to have the car jacked and have the pasenger side wheel off so that you can crawl in from that spot.

 

how to access your headers and spark plugs in 3 easy steps:


step1: pull the engine mount bolt on that side...

step2: place wide piece of wood that covers the entire oil pan stump on jack under motor... jack motor up.

step3: place a piece of wood or steel between the motor mount and the motor. set the engine on it.



you now have the motor tilted for easy easy easy access.
i have a 3" long piece of square tubing i use instead of wood, but most people dont have that hanging around.

 

That bolt would always loosen on me after a couple of week of driving, no matter what I did with it. How did I tighten it? I got a small box wrench, only about 5" long, and tightened it 1/12 a turn at a time from the top. Its a tight fit, but it can be done. I got so good at it I could do it in the dark without seeing the bolt...

 

thanks for the feedback all. I ll try the wrench idea i dont want to play with the motor mounts thanks again Dan-
