Header install questions. - ZR-1 Net Registry Forums

For what it is worth, I am also a SW, JETHOT coated person and after seeing this I did the straight edge check since my motor is still apart. I found it warped too and had no idea as it is in several places and about .023 off depending where I put the straight edge and on different ends.

Having said that, I also had no leak issues using the OEM gasket torqued to specs. I also am a Stage 8 bolt user. The only thing I found is when I was taken them off with the locks (aluminum) I believe it was two that I had to fish out and can't get with a magnet when 1 popped and flew taking off the clip and the other just dropped. Otherwise, I love them and they will not come loose since the tab with hit the header if it happens to loosen in time.
