TTI header woes

I've only worked on a coupla shorty header vehicles, they are a mess.
I won't ding a ceramic header cuz it fractures the ceramic, think porcelain, glass.
Water get in the cracks inner and outer and rust developed.
TTI had issues like that, I stopped installing them.
I'm presuming you read previous posts regarding loosening all the fasteners thru the block, loosened/removed trans mount bolts, allowing you to shift the engine around about an inch using all the slop in the loose bolts, then tightening it down when everything has clearance.
I only install long tubes, and haven't had to ding one in a very long time. (Not sure if the Doug's got better, or the vehicles).
- Since I learned how to bend tubes and modify the head flange angle, it can be a lotta work, but I love a challenge.
Good luck, wait till you get to the Dr side head pipe.
