PASSENGER SIDE
1. As on the driver side, remove the motor mount bolt and lift the engine as needed to put
the header into position.
2. Apply a THIN film of Ultra Copper Hi-Temp Sensor-Safe Silicone Sealer to each side of
the header gasket and stick the gasket to the header flange. Masking tape can be used
to help hold the gasket to the header.
3. Place header into position.
4. Lower engine back into place.
5. Put the motor mount bolt back in and tighten securely.
6. Replace the old filter with a FRAM # PF43 or equivalent (short style) to clear the header
tubes properly. If equipped with a right angle adapter, loosen the large bolt and rotate
the filter out of the way as needed.
7. Re-install the idler arm.
8. Install reducers and attach to the rest of the exhaust system.
9. Refill the radiator with the saved anti-freeze.
10. Reattach the negative battery cable to the battery.
START THE ENGINE
Start the engine and allow it to warm up to operating temperature. Check for any unusual
noises or exhaust leaks. If every thing is OK, stop the engine and tighten all bolts while the
engine is still warm.
NOTE: Check the bolts periodically to make sure they have not loosened. Re-tighten after
the first 500 miles and then again at 1000 miles.
IMPORTANT CHECK LIST
Be sure that all brake lines and fuel lines are clear of headers and/or connector
pipes.
All spark plug wires, battery cables, or other electrical components should be
clear of headers and/or connector pipes.
If dipstick tube was removed, make sure it is installed properly and that the
dipstick has been replaced.
Double-check the tightness of all bolts including brackets and accessories.
