SM Head Install... forgetting anything?

Well drivers side is on. Used some of my old 5/16×18 7/8in header bolts for the 2 shitty bolt holes and the new 5/16x18 1in bolts in the other holes with a washer. They are all snug on their. Ill get the rest installed tomorrow... to bad I dont know how to keep the a/c off the car, which would incrase hp (by not taking it due to having it on) and lighten the overall weight of the car by the billion pounds it weighs...

There really is no good way to get to header bolts like that. 1/64 of a turn is all you can get on them at a time. They slot the hole, but that doesn’t really help.

Sometimes it’s better to just take a ball peen hammer an dent the tube. It won’t hurt the power and it makes getting to the bolt a bit easier.
