Make sure you check those bolts. Bert Curtis wired mine. After we pulled the first blown engine I have not rewired them. Every time I check the driver's side, they are loose. The plan is to rewire them. My passenger side bolts are always tight. I have been around when a couple of axles came loose. Not a good sound. Can you imagine that axle flailing around under there? There are a couple of guys on this net that can tell you all about it.
Takes 3 minutes to snug them. I can wiggle around and get all of mine from the top. At least this time my header bolts remained tight. Using the thick Remflex that Jim K. gave me. We have about 3500 miles on this engine install. I had 2,000 on it last time I had to tighten the header bolts.
I think being able to see our engine, from the driver's seat, keeps me checking things before each trip. All intake bolts were tight, but as usual, had to snug the tappet cover bolts and the thermostat bolts.
Looking forward to seeing our friends next week and praying for "uneventful" trips for everyone.
