260DET, what car are you driving in the video? Sent from my LG-D850 using Classic Zcar Club mobile

Does the 240z have a more restrictive area that creates this issue when using the L28? I don't recall 280z owners mentioning this as one of their issues Sent from my LG-D850 using Classic Zcar Club mobile

I'll have to try the orange hand cleaner method. seems like a good healthy choice Sent from my LG-D850 using Classic Zcar Club mobile

That looks like so much fun! I would love to do that one day Sent from my LG-D850 using Classic Zcar Club mobile

haven't purchased a set of headers yet. Sent from my LG-D850 using Classic Zcar Club mobile

yes. those are the pieces I was referencing. good useful Information. thanks Sent from my LG-D850 using Classic Zcar Club mobile

so the parts that the zstore sells with their manifold kit, do those have a curved area like you previously described? I don't want to get the wrong parts. Sent from my LG-D850 using Classic Zcar Club mobile

I've read through a lot of articles, and I haven't seen anywhere where there is a call for clamping washers at the manifold area. zstore.com also has a set of manifold studs, washers, and spacers. can someone else chime in to confirm that the headers need a clamping washers? Sent from my LG-D850 using Classic Zcar Club mobile

I'm looking into which stud set to get. one set has the studs with all thread and another set has double-ended threaded studs (with the non-threaded are about midway of studs) Is there a difference if it's all thread or double ended thread studs? Sent from my LG-D850 using Classic Zcar Club mobile

yes. I have the 75 280z stock L28 engine. I thought that was how they would attach, and now your description confirms this. Thank you very much 7tooZ (clever handle "name 72" by the way) Sent from my LG-D850 using Classic Zcar Club mobile

well as far as what connects the manifolds to the block are just bolts/studs, washers, and "spacers" - basically thick looking washers Sent from my LG-D850 using Classic Zcar Club mobile

I searched quite extensively, but have not found an online image or guided instructions for where the manifold spacers go. when I removed the manifold, I wasn't able to see where the spacers were coming off of, so I couldnt record where to put them back.

I received a manifold gasket order from OEM Parts Haus, ebay seller. worst experience buying a part EVER! Issue: they shipped my manifold gasket in bubble wrap; just threw the uncardboxed gasket in bubble wrap and shipped it to me. Bizzaro. Who does that?! so yeah the gasket was all jacked up and unuseable. The owner gave me this run-around about email not working blah blah blah. he didnt really seem to care. I say buyer BEWARE of ordering from this seller on eBay. Sent from my LG-D850 using Classic Zcar Club mobile
