Ok, I've read through Big Jim's entire Header Install and still have some questions. I got B&B headers on the way (bought the ones on classifieds) and ordered UUC MM's from Luke to change while I'm down there. Got some questions....
1) Has anyone used wrap on their headers?
The ones I bought are wrapped. Should I pull the tape off or leave it on? If I pull the tape off will they look like shit? Do headers make engine temps rise that much?
2) What sparkplugs should I use if I change em out?
3) Should I use the stock manifold gaskets already on the engine, or get new OEM gaskets?
4) Should I get new metal gaskets in between the headers and my B&B catback..or will the ones I'm using now be ok to reuse?
5) Studs or Original Bolts? <- seems to be a mixed bag on this one
