Well can i just say last night was miserable...i spent about 3 EFFIN hours trying to get a heat shield off my manifold...i took half off only to find out it was pretty much impossible to remove the half wedged between the head and manifold...i did NOT want to attempt to take out 25 year old rusty manifold bolts...i was sure to snap them...

Well i was so damn determined to take off the rest of the heat shield that was now a crumbled mess from trying to rip it out with pliers...so i started taking out the manifold bolts and HOLY GOD! They came out incredibly easy...i was shocked...two of them were finger tight actually...not good but hell...you know what that means! No problem upgrading to headers baby!

Anyway i ended up[ having to rush painting my valve covers, didnt get anything else done that i wanted to...it was a bad experience and i suddenly got sick that morning and it hit me hard half way through taking everything apart...anyway heres a couple pics. you cant tell but the valve covers are a fail. Going to sand them a bit and paint over them again. The paint didnt bond very weel because of my rush prep job.
