A story with a cautionary note to it

A bit of high temp grease goes a long way here...better than using oil. The headers might have saved you an engine! If the oil missed a single pipe exhaust manifold...OUCH I have done this same thing and also had a spring stick in an oil filter adapter. It was a 4 door fury 383 car and the oil filter swelled up and popped. Man was that a mess...LOL.
