Skunk2 fitment on my LS is HORRIBLE, took alot of playign with it to just get it on all of the studs. then i couldnt get it quite flush with the head so i figured i would just tighten it down and it would pull it on... WRONG it stripped either my stud or my nut in 2 places, and i sitll couldnt get it down. I cant get the nuts off, any ideas or will I have to cut it off?

skunk2 = teh lose

Use Vise grips?

P.S. I <3 UD


EDIT: I'm guessing its the studs though.

 

**** man, thats rough. ive had bad luck with skunk2 products in the past, so i think im gonna stay away from the sk2 manifold for my ls. as for the nuts, is there any way to get an air wratchet on them? it might be able to bang them off if a wrench or wratchet cant....

 

You would have been better off dremeling out some of the bolt holes in the manifold flange instead of forcing it on.

My moto - "If you have to force anything, something's wrong"

 

i foudn out the problem, the idiots at skunk2 made the manifolds flange too big, it is hitting a hex plug that filsl an oil port on the head. WTF are these idiots smoking? I had to reshape the flange on my skunk2 manifold so it went aroudn that port.
