need to remove header bolts
im not having much faith in the usual "soak them in PB" methods.
im lookin to do this tonight or tomorrow so any quick responses will help greatly, thankyou.
i heard from a friend that i should run the car before removing them because the heads will be hot.

RE: need to remove header bolts
You shouldn't have to use PB blaster or anything on them. I also wouldn't advise running the car right before you decide to remove the bolts, that's an easy way of burning your hands and those headers get ****in hot. Just use a wrench and some elbow grease and they should come right out.

heat them and spray a little wd-40, then wait about 10 minutes so not to burn yourself and they should come off just fine.

wd-40 isnt really a penetrant... its more of an oil coating to prevent rusting...
