They WERE upside down. I had to lift the engine with the interior jack lift (I LOVE my Pro-Park 7), remove the engine mounts and rotate 180 degrees.

Note to oneself: Remember, on a SPF header, text on the flange faces up.

At least it was easier to install and tighten the header bolts w/o the mounts in the way. All I could muster up was 25 ft/lbs on the bolts. Very tight fit even w/o the mounts in place. But I do have the Stage 8 bolts. They will not back out.

And John, anything less than an emergency will not keep me from CVAR. But how things are progressing, I'll probably be pushing back another week for start up. No reason to rush and really foul things up.
