Header bolts.

[Sallback]

I just bought a set of pace setter headers to replace my stock headers. I was wondering if there is anything I should do before I put them on. Also the old rusty bolts the headers are attached to the block with are they replaceable?

heres, a really quick and easy thing to do , if you have a NAPA (easier) near you, go and buy a stud set from them, M8x1.25 studs. Comes in a set of ten with nuts, and its about $10 and some cents. Also i would highly recommend Anti-seize, on the threads before you put them in, and on a minor note there is one stud and wont come out, and more than likey can stay there in the head, unless really crappy. But hope that helps.....

if you can't find them locally, you can also get 4g63 exhaust manifold studs from satin or RRE. Studs and nuts for ~20 shipped from mitsubishiparts.com or 25 from RRE. A quick search should give you the part numbers

Thanks for the help but how do I remove these studs? Can I used PB Blaster to assist the removal of them?

To remove studs, jam two nuts together, then loosen the one nearest the base. If that doesn't work, you can purchase a stud remover from Sears, Snap-on, wherever. A small pipe wrench also works, but will likely damage the threads. You can also grind the sides of the stud down so you can fit a wrench on them to turn them out.

PB Blaster will probably help a bit.

Vice grips worked for me. Napa also gave me some PIMP red studs and nuts for my manifold.

I hope the color wears off though because of me handling them and putting them on, they look pinkish now .

I had to use those red studs for my IM to fit my portfueler on, that was fun to say the least.
