80% together...
a little problem...
stripped out 2 holes on pass side cylinder head exhaust manifold !!!!!!!!!!!!! I was so close to heli coiling them all...but seeing they were nos ...well nearly nos...i didnt...darn things stared at me all year!! i even had purchased extra inserts to do it.!! Drive side is on and tight ...pass side felt weak in more than the 2 that stripped(#6) but hopefully will be ok for round 2.......i can get to # 6 in car but need a short 25/64 bit and 90 Degree drill...i could get to 8 and maybe 2 but 4 motor would need to come back out...or up at least..
off to sears and home depot in AM

any idea wher i can get the short bit on short notice???

Ryan

By the way ...remember the first set of heads from WAY back??? well guess what....i put inserts in alll the threads intake and exhaust on that set !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! DOH !!!
