should this bolt be this far away? just dont look right to me mabye thats why it looks kinda rusty at the top of the header pipe might also be a source of backfiring? edited by 420at145mph on June 04, 2004 |

It does look weird though.. It would seem to have a gasket and be tight. |

420, mine did the same thing,allthough it broke the stud off the front pipe ,cause of my light home made exhaust,replaced it with a new stud and new ss nuts,torque is 15ft/lbs,does not go in much more than yours,'tho. |

Perfectly normal. The exhaust headers use a crushable, one-time-use steel wool gasket - if that plate were flush against the engine, you'd have major problems. |

Mine looks just like that and there is no air/sound coming out of either header.

Donnie, Your photo shows a perfectly installed/mated header to cylinder-head connection. You are good to go. |
