Are they ceramic coated? If so I might be a ceramic bead.

the only way to reall check it out is to pull em off and figure it out. should only have to pull one side once you figure where its coming from.

Nice. Im guessing the motor went in with the headers already on? If not, why cant they come back out the same way? Its not touching the column is it?

Make sure everything is nice and tight, at both the engine end and the other end.

Its easy to get the driver's side out. I think you can slip it right out the bottom. We had our tranny out when we put ours on and thats how we got it on.
