LHD AE86 headers and exhaust

[Deuce Cam]

^I know. It looks good otherwise...



Out of curiosity did any of you have issues slipping the manifold over the studs on the head?

On mine the edge of the flange above the left stud was contacting the ear on the dizzy so it wouldn't slip on (red circle in above pic is shows the point of contact). It was assembled together in one piece on my first attempt, so then I tried taking it apart and installing piece by piece with no change. I had to loosen the dizzy and turn it for clearance to slip on the manifold. Once installed the dizzy can be adjusted through it's range.

I just thought it was very odd.

Edit: Martelius got back to me and they're willing to work on fixing it

The guy I spoke with said it looked like there was more space between the exhaust and frame than he remembered. Do any of yours look like mine?

I'm also going to inspect the mounts to rule that out.
