There is a bolt on the heads you must unbolt. The rest is just wiggling the tube out of the base of the engine. It helps to have a buddy wiggle the tube from the bottom while you yank it from the top...

Just wait until you try to re-insert it after the headers... best of luck

Thanks that helps a lot. thats what you have cooking oil for....on the install that is.

bsteff,

Could I pick your brain when you are done with the install? I will be doing one myself soon.

Sure not a problem. I won't be able to finish it till next weekend though.

two people make it easier to put the dipstick back in, one above to hold it and one person under the car to guide it back in the hole.....plus if you drop your starter it will make the job easier

i dunno why everyone has trouble with their dipstick. mine slid right out, then slid right in afterwards with no problems

Yea, mine was a PIA to get out, but slid right back in, and my buddie's came right out with no problems, and then he forgot to put it back in when they were done, took it for a test drive, and got oil all over the place

Thanks, that is cool. I am trying to get in touch with a guy on here that is selling a set of Hooker Headers and Y pipe but I haven't heard from him for about a week. I don't even have the parts to start the install but I will be doing it soon. (I hope)
