DIY: Stillen header installation

No, I know he used an air ratchet. I was standing there watching him. The only thing I'm unsure of is whether or not he used a torque wrench afterwards

No, I know he used an air ratchet. I was standing there watching him. The only thing I'm unsure of is whether or not he used a torque wrench afterwards to verify the torque. But I'm 100% positive he used an air ratchet, because he kept looping the hose over his neck and shoulders. I asked him why he was doing that and he said it was to avoid the hose touching my car and potentially scratching the finish. Pretty conscientious guy, huh? He has a ton of funky looking adapters for tight spots too. I'm guessing those helped. He did bitch about that center bottom bolt, but he didn't have as bad a time with it as you did. All he said about it was to make sure I tell people that they need to be able to work by feel, because there's no way to see it.
