Whats the easiest way to tighten the bolts for these headers (to the head)? I had the top rear one on the passenger's side back all the way out and now I have a wicked exhaust leak. I've seen a few people ask questions about this, and respond back that they got it but not say how? I cant reach up in there.

Thanks for your help in advance,
Anthony

i think you can get locking header bolts but i dont know for sure.

Yeah I've seen that, I'm just curious as how you can get access to even rachet the bolts in. (without pulling the engine.)

use a 1/4 drive socket setup with several universal joints and alot of patience. It helps if you put something sticky in the socket and stick the bolt to it.

to do mine, the motor mounts had to be taken off and the engine was jacked up a couple of inches

Stage 8 locking bolts. Well worth the money. :yes

+1 on several swivels and lots of patience. If you have ratchet wrenches they may help too.

Same here on jacking up the motor. Not much, just enough to get a little extra room between the strut tower and the head.
