finally installing my Pacesetters

Re: finally installing my Pacesetters

I was gonna ask how this was going earlier. When you did the studs, did you thread them all the way down in the block? I had the same problem with mine, had to grind the header a little. I took the heads off and threaded the studs down the rest of the way and the header fit like it was supposed to. Pissed me off because I ground the header for no reason.

I did the studs about a year ago, there threaded down the RK's fit better than the Pacesetters. Will see how much I grind down , might order RK's again.lol

Re: finally installing my Pacesetters

No head studs that go into the block, having to grind down the header flange, finally got the drivers done. Now need to get the gasket in and start work on the pass. side.

Are they only difficult to install because of the head bolts you're using?
