Sounded like the starter was weak or maybe I was out of gas. SO upon further inspection I check out my Starter and sure enough the bottom stud and bolt was somewhere on the freeway and the starter it self was hanging by 2 threads and all the way off the top stud! So luckily I had my jack and my bud lived down the street! tightend that top nut to 1 million foot pounds and drove to work! Where do you guys go to get your hardware? would it be safe for me to use a bolt instead of a stud and nut setup? and I looked at my newly installed headers and what do you know ?! missing two bolts! Man i'm sucking lately. Looking into stage 8 locking with metal header gasket. any inputs? thanks guys sorry for the long thread! <img border="0" alt="[patriot]" title="" src="graemlins/patriot.gif" /> <br /> </font> </td></tr> <tr bgcolor="#f7f7f7"> <td valign="top" width="18%"> <font size="2" face="Verdana, Arial"> <b>JohnB</b> <br /><small>Member # 969</small> </font></td> <td width="82%"> <font size="1" face="Verdana, Arial"> <img src="https://californiafords.com/ubb/posticon.gif" border="0" alt=" - " /> posted <script language="JavaScript1.3" type="text/javascript"> document.writeln(timestamp(new Date(2009,9,23,12,36,0), dfrm, tfrm, 0, 0, 0, 0)); </script><hr /> </font> <font size="2" face="Verdana, Arial"> </font><blockquote><font size="1" face="Verdana, Arial">quote:</font><hr /><font size="2" face="Verdana, Arial">Originally posted by bayarea5.0:<br /><strong> Where do you guys go to get your hardware? would it be safe for me to use a bolt instead of a stud and nut setup? </strong></font><hr /></blockquote><font size="2" face="Verdana, Arial">The hardware store. <img border="0" title="" alt="[Wink]" src="wink.gif" /> <br /><br />Yes, it's safe to use a bolt instead of the stud. <br /><br />Apply the lightweight blue loc-tite on the header bolts, you won't have that problem anymore. <br /> </font> </td></tr> <tr bgcolor="#dedfdf"> <td valign="top" width="18%"> <font size="2" face="Verdana, Arial"> <b>bayarea5.0</b> <br /><small>Member # 8779</small> </font></td> <td width="82%"> <font size="1" face="Verdana, Arial"> <img src="https://californiafords.com/ubb/posticon.gif" border="0" alt=" - " /> posted <script language="JavaScript1.3" type="text/javascript"> document.writeln(timestamp(new Date(2009,9,23,18,10,0), dfrm, tfrm, 0, 0, 0, 0)); </script><hr /> </font> <font size="2" face="Verdana, Arial"> hahah what a goon I am. thanks man .
