Header fitment rant, Doug's
Got the engine back up in the car with headers snugged up with .0625 washer to simulate compressed gasket, remflex gasket is getting beat up, without steering box because of interference with header.
Driver side = 16.375
Passenger side = 13.5625
Height = 5.3125
Using tti's numbers, I'm off to the passenger side by .31, that should help, at least it's not to far toward the driver side. After a little more thought on this, maybe being over to the p side is causing the problem? I'll get it sitting as close as I can and see where I'm at then.
The p side has about .1875 clearance from fender wall.
That doesn't bother me.
Wish I had another header to try. I'm not convinced the header is within quality control spec.
