Subject: [GMCnet] Headers/manifolds in the Phoenix area?
Any chance anyone has any headers or manifolds for a 455 in the
Phoenix area? We are on the road and greatly appreciate all advice
and/or tips :)

Jr-
He found manifolds were leaking. (No gaskets). When installing remflex gasket his passenger side manifold cracked.
He is looking for a "non-cracked" passenger side manifold for a 455
Shaun- installation of headers will take some exhaust cutting/welding to fit the flandge. FYI. Fastest and easiest way is to stick with manifolds for now.

How much did he tighten them. Only supposed to be a MAX of 14 FtLbs.
Manifold had to be cracked already to break at such a low torque
value. You retorque them after a few hundred miles to the same value
if they are loose.

Thanks everyone. You're right, the manifold was already cracked, and the Remflex gasket only made it worse. I went ahead and ordered headers and will attempt to install here in Bullhead City. We have been put up by some amazing GMCers and we feel very fortunate!

I will have our guys track it and advise you.
