Do you torque header bolts?

From what Ive read about Pacesetter LT installs you have hardly any room in certain spots when re-bolting them up. Is it even possible to get a torque wrench on all of them?

Not possible to get a torque wrench in there. Seeing the 4th gen engine bay, I wondered how it was even possible to get long tubes in there.

What you can do is torque the ones you can (which is a PITA as it is) then put the wrench you used on the other bots to get a feel for what that torque is. Then try and match the other bolts to that feel. That's about all you can do, aside from just cranking them on.
