Now I'm looking for a header. Probably going to use the LCE. That's about the best one from what I can find on header info.
Unless Your building a race engine I would strongly recommend getting a tri y design header.Northwest Offroad or Doug thorly
On the Thorley header they use a 3/8 flange where LCE uses a 1/2 flange. I thought I had read something about the thicker flanges lasting longer. And some Thorley flanges warping. If your running the Thorley header what do you think of them? Any issues?
Almost all of my heads exhaust studs needed to be helicoiled. And I think that was from a warped cast iron manifold. Well I thought I had a deal on the Thorley header but the price on line changed. I have to wait and see. Are Trail Gear headers any good? Prices are not so bad and a nice thick flange.
I did find a DT 22r header down south of me. Pitifully welded up flange. If that's how the new ones look I'll pass. It looked as though it was welded on the head side of the flange and then ground, but not ground flat.
It sounds like you would NOT be happy with a Doug Thorley header.Gnarls.
If the New production headers look as bad as the one I saw pictures of your correct. I like parts that fit and function without any extra work.
