Thatdavidkid Posted May 17, 2014 Report Share Posted May 17, 2014 I've had a really long wee and a half. I went to put my headers on last week, and it didn't go well. Long story short, heads/cam/header 5.3. Untuned, starting on that after dinner just to make it run, full tune after the rest of the exhaust is on. And sorry, I'm on my phone so I'm gonna upload video to YouTube real quick. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thatdavidkid Posted May 18, 2014 Author Report Share Posted May 18, 2014 And by "it did not go well" I mean when I went to install my Texas speed long tubes (love them by the way.) I found two broken manifold bolts in the heads, one in each head, back bolts. I did not have the means to remove them on the truck so I pulled the heads and the " might as well" bug hit until I ran out of money.(didn't take much) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ballincustoms Posted May 18, 2014 Report Share Posted May 18, 2014 Lol I see what you mean now, going to be mean Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
4Runner Posted May 18, 2014 Report Share Posted May 18, 2014 Is it hard to pull the heads? I have the same problem and was just thinking of pulling the heads to make it easy to work on and port and polish the heads? Your thoughts? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Thatdavidkid Posted May 18, 2014 Author Report Share Posted May 18, 2014 With a 1 year old and my job, I don't have much time to work on it. I pulled the heads in 2 days after work, and took a day off to reassemble. I do not have air tools or anything and also did a can swap and installed longtubes and I assembled it in a total of about 3.5 hours. Extracting bolts will be the hardest part if you're doing it yourself. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Downeast Johnny Posted May 18, 2014 Report Share Posted May 18, 2014 Listening to the video, it sounds like it was worth the struggle. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Thatdavidkid Posted May 18, 2014 Author Report Share Posted May 18, 2014 Yea it sounds nasty for sure, I'm excited to see how it runs with the tune ironed out. This will be my first time tuning a vehicle that actually needs tuning. All of my experience is with little stuff like turning off o2s or changing tire size/adding e fans Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

coal miner Posted May 18, 2014 Report Share Posted May 18, 2014 There must be a problem with the back bolts. Both of mine where broke to. I got one out with a pair of vise grips and the other is still in the head . Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cmoney23 Posted May 18, 2014 Report Share Posted May 18, 2014 Yeah that's nasty sounding all right!! WOW! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Thatdavidkid Posted May 20, 2014 Author Report Share Posted May 20, 2014 Getting exhaust put on today, the drive to the exhaust shop yesterday afternoon was interesting to say the least. Definitely needs a lot of work on the tune and transition from idle to driving and back to idle. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
