I had the same problem on my 93 Teg I ended up grinding the nut off and then I noticed the Bolts were pressed in and welded I ended up drilling out everything and just using bolts now

used a blow torch to heat the rusted bolts. Came off easily afterwards.

ok so ..

I got the new headers on... BUT

it rubs againist the oil pan, do u think it will tear a hole in it ?? or should I put a thin peice of metal in-between it so it wont heat it up ??


and it makes like a ricey sound now, around 1-3K rpms, but after that a deep sound...


Help and thx !!
