I finally got a good deal on some edelbrock TES headers with y-pipe on ebay for $140! These should help wake my lg4 up Anybody have recomendations for what gaskets and bolts I should use?

Is it hard to install headers? Im sure I can do it but I always get worried I will mess something up How long should it take? Any advice and tips would be great!

 

Percy's or Mr. Gasket copper are good don't use the paper kind,Stage 8 bolts are nice because they lock.

 

Does the seller have another set?

 

soak those bolts before you start, if you snap those you might as well bend over and kiss your *** good bye, then youll have to take your heads off ***** ***** biggity ***** if you snap those bolts

 

I dont think so. These were used for a year thats why I got them so cheap. It would be nice to get a new set but it sucks being on a college budget.

lordmetal, I hope I dont snap those bolts either. It doesnt help that my car is 20 years old lol. I will make sure to soak those puppies down good!

 

It doesn't matter if it is new or not. In 6 months, it will look old even if you had a new set. These are not wear items so unless there are scrapes and holes or dents, I would not worry.

Also, something else you can do is clean the treads with a tap and then use some anti-sieze to lube them up. That way, it will minimize the chances of a snapped bolt. Also a new good set is not a bad idea.
