I know where you're going and good point, they require different studs....

No, the HPs are no longer part of the story. I have the one stud complete submerged in PB in a small jar. I'm hoping that will unlock the nut so I can put the stud in first before everything else.
So you don't wanna do the HPs

Yeah
Really...? Why?

Oh, I thought you already bought them from what I read in the Wanted thread. That was a smokin' deal.

Long story short I was yakking with somebody (another mopar guy I know but who is into newer 4banger mopars) tells me he has a friend in Bethlehem (PA) who had very slightly used TTi headers in the basement who might sell for way less than cost b/c he wasn't using them and was hard up for cash. I would've NEVER considered it otherwise..so I held off on the HPs to see if I could get my hands on the headers. Unfortunately they are a body pieces. No amount of cursing, wd40, and hammering would make them fit.
So do the HPs.....

Yea they were very reasonably priced....and like how seller operated (has pay pall account). I won't consider any other type of transaction unless I know that person....in person.

Still not out of the question in the future. Should've figured TTI too good to be true.
But arent you part of the anti header group here?

I'm sorry I misunderstood and thought you literally pulled the threads out for the one stud back when I suggested the Heli-Coil.

Do you actually have A list going?

Negative I didn't take them.I'm still confused, did you buy the HP manifolds or are they still up for grabs?

No worries Matt. I put hi temp liquid pipe thread on it and reinstalled. Gonna let it set over night and cross fingers. I'm damn happy the threads are not stripped.
