Dang, thats annoying. You going to try to get that header repaired or are you going to have to get a fresh set?

IDK, I have less than 500 miles on the set. I contacted the place where I got them but I'm not holding my breath for an answer. No matter what, The front one has to come out. I'll probably just have it welded.I can't do it myself because my MIG welder isn't setup for stainless steel...

That sucks Rob. I hope they admit the design/build flaw and help you out.

New injectors installed. I buttoned everything up and took it for a spin. It took a bit for idle to even out but it felt pretty good. 75° outside. 14° cooler than it was during the last dyno run. I have another dyno run scheduled for tomorrow morning..,

I couldn't do the dyno this morning. They said the exhaust leak will skew the AFR. Now I have to pull the header and get that TIG welded and get it back in sometime this week so I can get it back on the dyno. I found a highly skilled TIG welder at a shop a few steps away from the shop with the dyno.
Here's some of their work:
When I first came down here I was wondering how I was going to find all new people for various projects. I had a great network in Jersey and VAC was just over the bridge.
In the last few months I've met a great group of people here in Charleston that are highly skilled and very friendly. I'm very happy about that...
Now I'm off to remove half the front end to get that stinkin header out!

Good luck. I know your up to the challenge.
Glad you like it there. One of my favorite places. Can't wait for our trips down on Oct and Nov.

Would love to, but doubtful. Oct is Parent's weekend with the seniors getting heir rings, football game and showing our German exchange student around. Nov is my 30th reunion with lots of activities ...
