At what point should we replace the head bolts (new stock item for PartsPack...hint, hint)?? I don't think you're supposed to reuse head bolts, and I have seen a head bolt fail (rebuilt 258ci AMC/Jeep engine) and it's not pretty.
I guess to answer my own question, I would retorque once, and...
It opens to the public in 30 minutes. I'm about a 7 minute train ride away, and heading there over my lunch hour.
Fortunately, the Dodge display is at the main entrance.

My observations from the Chicago Auto Show:
The new Viper can best be described as EXTREME. The front end looks a tad bit wider than the back (viewed from front or back), but that's probably just an illusion. The raised back end takes some getting used to. The bigger rear wheels and meatier...
The new snake was engineered to be the world-class production based road racer, SECOND TO NONE. That meant making it physically as close to a LeMans Prototype as possible, then adapting it to the street (and making DOT happy in the process). It was not an accident that it is MUCH wider with a...
Re: Late model Mopar Performance headers for a \'93 RT/10 \"Is it worth it?\"

Re: Late model Mopar Performance headers for a \'93 RT/10 \"Is it worth it?\"
Hey Rob, I didn't realize you already purchased the headers.
What you may want to do is: install the headers, put your factory exhaust pipes on the shelf intact (or sell them), and then graft high-flow cats and...

Re: Late model Mopar Performance headers for a \'93 RT/10 \"Is it worth it?\"
Yes, it does bolt up to the heads, but it doesn't bolt up to the factory exhaust on your car. You need to cut the factory exhaust at the cats and weld in the "header-to-cat" pipes.
Too much effort for what you...
Wayne, I believe you have the TNT cone filter kit which should be no problem in the rain. The concern comes with the K&N brand cone filter kit, where the filters essentially sit in a "bucket" that catches water from the NACA duct.
PS - Take it easy with your car... I'm still interested in...
