I have one of the early Block Hugger TTI headers on a 400 stroker and have no problems reaching plugs with a scoket.

I had issues with the #3 plug on the left side. Being used to having headers I posted a question on here asking what others have done and how best to live with it and instead someone from their end PM'd me personally and it turned out I had an older set and they had a new design in use that remedied my issue. They sent me a new left side and asked for mine back. I didn't pay 1 cent for this so in my book they ARE the best out there and are a stand up company.
have you spoken directly with anyone from TTI? Perhaps this is something that they may have worked out already?
BTW...I have never been able to use a socket on all of my plugs. I have had to use a wrench on at least 3 plugs. By far this is way better than some other headers out there. I can also use a socket on almost all of the header bolts too. Too me the bigger problem is dealing with the stupid coolant leaks that I never seem to get on top of!

No I can't even to began to get a socket on it. A wrench might work, but I'll still be running on 7 cylinders. The spark plug boot is touching the header. I can fix this problem with a hammer. It just seems that TTI would't want a bunch of brand new polished headers running around beat to a pulp.
I'd say send them back but you've already beat on them. For the money TTi's cost they should jump out of the box and install themselves. These are $109 Summit headers and I didn't have to dink of beat one tube to get them on. All the plugs can be changed easy #5 is a tad rough but doable.

I'm finally starting to get it. Running on 7 cylinders is ok.
You're a little slow to catch on. There have been a few decent suggestions posted so far. Besides, if your motor is fouling plugs so bad that it needs frequent plug swaps, your problems are far greater than header fitment. There are several spark plug wire companies making products with heat protection. Look into it. Were all happy to help, but we are not here to do it for you.

No his issue isn't changing the plugs like everyone keeps talking about.... His issue is the spark plug boot burns because it touches the header.... If the boot is touching then there is no room for "Heat Protection".... So when the spark plug boot is burnt to a crisp his car runs on seven cylinders..... Apparently the message he's getting is that burnt plug boots is acceptable with $700 headers... Where-as $150 headers generally don't have that issue....

Not at all one member already posted he had the same problem with his TTI headers called TTI and sent him a new one at no cost to him. If he can't make it work and doesn't want to take the time to call TTI what more can be done
