Thanks a lot! I will be using them since I'm using the exact same gasket and header.

Cool. Make sure you have a thin-walled 1/4" drive 12 point 5/16" socket and the same wrench. Some of the bolts are so close to the primaries that I couldn't even get my ratcheting wrench on there, I had to use my regular 12-point wrench. One the driver's side, I could hit a few of them with the ratchet though.

why do my stage8's require a 7/16 wrench when all you guys says 5/16?

I've been using stage 8's for quite a while, even without locks I haven't had any back out at all.

I also cut the side off of a closed end 11mm wrench to reach the tough spots.

Also sears craftsman have 7/16 ignition wrenchs that are right angle open wrenchs, they do a great job.

Hope this helps,
Christian

I have the stainless Breslins, if I remember correctly I paid $60. shipped. Last year when I started posting about the Breslins, a lot of people gawked at the price I paid for them, but as far as I'm concerned, I paid for a piece of mind!

does anyone else have stage8's with a 7/16 size?........maybe ive got the wrong ones........their website lists 3/8 and 5/16 is what everyone says they have.

no wonder i cant get a damn wrench on these things.



btw......stage8's suck........they strip easily, not just the outside, but also the allen key fitting........its not like im superman, they should not strip this easy with the correct sized tools.
