I have a 96 and was wondering what the best way to tighten the header bolts with the motor in the car?

 

never done it but maybe an impact wrench withextension + swivel to socket

 

thats why you use stage 8 locking bolts so that dont happin...

 

its best if u loosen the lower mount bolts and raise the motor 4 or 5 in and support it with a 4 by 4 and then there not bad to get to

 

Hmm..do you have to take the motor out to install headers?

 

no u dont have to take motor out..... after lowering suspension u gotta get the streeting out of the way .....theres only one bolt but after u get it out u gotta pull the steering column out then u should have some room...also u can push the motor to the side if u need to[&:] i suggest u take it to a shop tho

 

How much doesa shop charge for installing headers on average?..

 

i would say 300-400 range if ur lucky maybe cheaper

 

thats the steering column u need to pull up on it after u get the bolt out of the way but also notice theres still not a lot of working space so take it to a shop trust me

 

i did mine this weekend and it was really hard for me to do... i would say if you don't really know what you are doing then dont do it take it to a shop... and i used a wrench that i grinded down a little so i could get it in the tight areas and i did have to remove the steering column but its still a really tight fit.. i have a 94 though so it may be a little different
