Had a similar problem with my Ricks header.
Except not all the headers are the same design, so if the Ricks goes you can't be sure the J's would and certainly the Mugen wouldn't

I was taking my time, but it's still quite a tricky job and I don't think I could nock more than 1 hour off next time.





(will clean the head cover later - no paint scrapes at all though! Nor my knuckles )

Started on the intake and will finish it tomorrow, hopefully along with the braces. I'm feeling that motivated, I may even do the sump myself in a few weeks

Wouldn't it be easier to drop the steering linkage out?
If your doing rack spacers anyhow, shift the whole thing - four bolts and a couple of flanges?

That is a good start.

MB, I've read in another topic that you have few questions about the J's Racing intake. Check my reply.
