A friend of mine needs help doing an i/h/e installation for his 2k1 SH, but I don't have a helm's and he doesn't either...

Can someone post torque specs and whatnot for the header bolts, etc? I dont want to over-torque anything

- PS I've done a search, and it seems pretty straightfoward(like a header install should be) but is there anything I should be careful about? I don't own a Lude and I've never worked on one, so any pointers would be helpful.

TIA

 

Everything is pretty straight forward, just take time and read instructions carefully. Wear protective gear; gloves and eye wear. Use hydrolic lift to raise. Remember to set the gasket properly - see instructions. And the torque should be a safe 13lbs on exhaust bolts. Is the intake a cold air intake? Then it might take a little longer. Remember to reset ECU when done, and check all bolts after they heat up.

Don't forget pullies because they add 15 horsepower - god damn, I can't believe people actually think that!?

Don't use a bat on these parts like you've done before - hahahah!

THanks, I figured its almost the same procedure as on my car, but doesn't hurt to make sure

How do I set the gasket properly? I thought u just stick on on, then screw the bolt down?

Yeah its a cold air, but that should be a piece of cake..

lol hopefully nothing will frustrateme enough to warrant theuse of the bat again hehe
thanks

 

well i came upon this person's CAI install and they were talking about having to open up the hole for the CAI tube...is cutting necessary or can i just wrap the tube at that point so it doesnt rub?
