ASSEMBLY
1. Install flange gaskets and headers from top.
Install header bolts, lock washers, and thick flat
washers supplied (NOTE: Thick washers are to
be used on slotted holes of port flange.), ensure
proper alignment and tighten bolts starting with
the center working out towards ends of flange.
2. Re-install spark plug wires and dipstick tube
retainer bracket.
3. Re-install air cleaner and cold air tube and
install supplied heat stove flex tube.
supplied adapter with clamp on air cleaner
housing, if needed.
4. With wire ties, route any hoses, wires or lines
away from headers as necessary.
WARNING: The use of "Thermal Wrap" or any aftermarket coating process will void the warranty on your
headers. Those products can cause excessive heat and moisture buildup resulting in corrosion and early
failure of the system.

1. Check all lines (hydraulic, vacuum, air
conditioning and fuel) to ensure there is
adequate clearance to headers. Use wire ties as
needed.
2. Re-connect battery.
