Any Tips on installing this bolt with the engine and everything else in the car? the pic is from the TTI Website.
All the rest were a breeze but this one is pretty much under the angle of the tube. So close yet so far!

All the other bolts need to be backed out 90% of the way.. That way the header will pull back from the head & the bolt will slip in without having to thread into the head, It slides in at an angle then straightens out & threads into the head....

might have to unbolt the rest of the bolts & pull the flange out a bit so you can get the bolt to go in at an angle & if that doesn't change anything then you could bevel the hole in the flange a bit so the bolt will slide in at an angle or the best way (on all holes) would be to use an OE shouldered stud in the head & they seal way better than header bolts & you can trim the outer fine threaded part of the stud till only enough threads remain so that when the nut is tightened it is flush with the end of the stud as any additional threads are a waste & hamper fitment getting the flange over the stud

The #1 Tube was trapped between the Motor mount and the head. Very little wiggle room! Backing them out helped, I think taking a break and relaxing also contributed to success.
Now all I need is my Drive-shaft back from the shop and My alternator and I should be able to take her for her first drive!
