Re: Bassani header install progress...

I tell ya, in all truth told here, the only time I got frustrated was on the passenger side when the gaskets kept falling out while trying to get the collector on. Once I sprayed them with the copper spray, put them on there, and allowed them to set for about 15 minutes. When I got to the drivers side, I immediately sprayed the gaskets and let them sit while I was removing the manifold.

The other time was when I was trying to put the X back on, and I had the collector pipes reversed, with the long tube on the passenger side and the short tube on the drivers side (with the stock manifolds, this is the way it works). However, trying to hold the X in place and then realizing that the short tube had to be on the passenger side and the long tube on thr drivers side made me angry and throw few good verbal words in there as well.

I kinda felt sorry for my wife, cause the 2 times she came out to check things out was at those 2 moments when I was throwing a fit.
