CHRIS! hey I missed your call last night.
Holy header install!
did you ever get your cams?

PS regular header install was a *****! I imagine those were even funner!
did you have to lift the engine to install them?
BTW I'd recheck that you put the steering column back correctly. We've put mine back not straight three times now.

I talked to chris today on the phone, hes saying he didn't even touch the steering column to install his headers.

Did you mess with any of the suspension chris?

did you ever figure out what was causing your steering to bind up like that?
