Well tonight I totally finished up my WH full length header install. I torqued the stage 8 bolts to spec, put back in the spark plugs and added the spark plug boot protectors. Then I added the locking caps and c-clips to the stage 8 bolts---boy was that alot of fun. I'm about to fire this puppy up and see what it sounds like. WELLLLLLLLL, I get to the last c-clip (and I mean last for both sides) and it falls out of my hand. I go to grab it under my bronco and behold part of the header gasket is lying on the ground. Part of the Earl gasket evidently came apart when I slid the passenger side header into place. So guess what I had to do--Yep, take off all the c-clips, unbolt all the bolts (completly) and remove the header to take off the gasket. Why does this type of $hit always have to happen to me? Why can't anything be easy? Anyway, just had to vent a little.
Thanks,
Brian
