A buddy and I are about 3 hours into my JBA LT install and have all the stock hardware out. We have the car on ramps in the back and stands in the front. K member is not dropped and we dont plan to. I now have questions on what to do as we reinstall everything.
First is the gaskets. I was planning on using the stockers. Car only has 9700 miles on it and I see most reuse them. Is this a good idea.
Second I assume I should use the O2 bungs in the collector vs the primary? That was my plan. How the heck do I get the drivers side O2 to connect to the plug? Do I need an extension harness?
Third is the header studs. Im using a 12pt 6mm and all they want to do is round off. Is this normal? Do I really need to remove them if we just rock the motor side to side?
Forth, anyone know what the nut thread is for the header studs? My car ate one and I forgot to grab one before I left my buddies... and its 5am and 35 miles away...
Any other helpful hints?
So far this has been a decent project. not bad at all
