[QUOTE="bolinger06, post: 5485061, member: 45365"] I have a 97 cobra with Mac longtube headers. Well awhile ago i started to hear a horrible exhaust leak on the headers. I looked and on the passenger header, the farthest cylinder back, one of the bolts is completely gone and then the next cylinder one of the bolts was half way out. Well the problem i have is that i cant even touch the hole in the farthest one back. It is so cramped, I was barely able to get a mirror down there to make sure the bolts not snapped off and it's not. I never was able to fully tighten the other header bolt b/c i could hardly get a wrench on it. I took the motor mount nuts off and jacked the motor up almost completely out of the allignment spaces until it was putting pressure on stuff on the drivers side and none of it helped. I just put it back together and have been dealing with it. I ordered some stage 8 locking header bolts and am ready to try this again so i just want to know if i'm missing some magic trick or some stupidly easy thing to do. I thought about removing the starter and trying from the bottom but just by looking it seems that there is no room. I'm up for any ideas at all, i have the time and patience for this, i just need the know-how. Thanks, Brady [/QUOTE]
