Default Help with header install

Ive already searched and found nothing. What are good methods to install a header? I was able to remove the stock one after some wiggling and jacking the car up high. Then I removed the subframe stiffener bar and the passenger side engine mount/bracket. The new header gets caught up on the subframe.

the engine needs to come out for the header install.


naw jk, loosen a motor mount if you need more space (tilt the engine to the other side). You should be able to twist/tilt/wiggle it in there.

Looks like that is the only way. Loosen the mounts, lift, tilt engine to get it in.

i didn't loosen the motor mount, i just had a friend tilt the engine using the crankpulley bolt and a breaker bar (away from the header).
