and fixed my massive exhaust leak caused by not checkin the hardest bolt to get to on the headers lol... wasn't as bad as i thought. trying to get the bolts back in was a major PITA but i think that's because i'm so afraid of cross-threading but wow its so much nicer... its probably all in my head but the car feels so much smoother and feels like i got a little power back. hearin that tick every day annoyed me
 
About those header bolts :)

What I've found has always helped me is to ..............

Get one on each end of the flange in place to hold the header up :nice:
but
The trick is to just turn those bolts in no more than about 1 1/2 turns ;)

Since the first two blots are just barely in place .........

You can wiggle the header around to get those tough inside bolts in place

You don't wanna go more than 1 1/2 with all bolts until all are started

Then tighten em all up evenly
