[QUOTE="Catmonkey, post: 16068119, member: 124025"] Even if the ratchet strap was on the engine mount bracket, you wouldn't have enough clearance to remove or install the header, the strap would still be in the way and right up against the header/manifold. Putting a bottle jack under the engine isn't as dangerous as you might think. As long as you aren't horsing the engine around while you bolt up the headers, you should be fine. There could be a way to rig it to where it doesn't impact the headers, but I didn't spend any time trying to figure it out. I had removed the driver side header to be able to remove the timing cover which called for removing the oil filter/cooler adapter. I ended up swapping out the K-member after I had reinstalled the header and adapter. I ended up using the strap and the bottle jack. [/QUOTE]
