Not saying this is definitely your problem, but it's a idea to think about if it's coming from the rear of the car.

There is no noise. Just a vibration felt when turning.

I feel it on the steering wheel, as if the vibration is running up the steering column. I am pretty sure it's not in the rear. I am pretty sure I haven't felt it when sitting still, but I will test that out when I head out for lunch.

They drop in like these..

No worries about a lifter turning on you.

If not a set of BTR SLR lifters to control those valves better.

Yea I was thinking of getting those its cheap insurance they only like 700 bucks way better than a new engine lol

Do you have long tubes that they might be rubbing up on the steering column?

Is there a particular thread that is recommended by the hive to give me a good idea of what I'm getting into to install LT headers? I'm planning on ordering some Pfadts here in a few weeks. I was planning on doing a search when I get home and I'm on my computer bit figured someone might know which one is the better thread to read. Thanks

You don't have to cut with headers nowadays though. It's easier than that thread makes it seem.

Nightmare2012 · 08-09-2013, 01:51 PM

Its a real easy install unscrew the bolts take out spark plugs so you won't crack them take out oil dipstick slide manifolds out slide headers in install spark plugs and oil dipstick and prepare for the permagrin!

It's easy. Do the driver side 1st as it takes longer.

Thanks for the link and the advice guys... I got some reading to do but by all accounts it'll be easier than most of the car projects I've done in my past...

thahemp · 08-09-2013, 04:31 PM

Yep. Doesn't get much easier. Make sure you drink enough beer too.

And invite us over lol

thahemp · 08-09-2013, 04:47 PM

Haha. Yeah! We'd be happy to supervise and drink your beer

. Plus if you have someone catch the manifolds and ease the headers up, you don't have to take all the spark plugs out.
