Re: Shorty cast iron header removal

Hey BO,
The big bug-a-boo glitch that prevents this was listed as being the "long Bendix unit" on the starter, but Ms. American has THAT exact Bendix, and it STILL comes out by just removing the Idler Arm Bracket.

BUT I have to say that taking off the Shorty Header is just SOOOOO much FUN that I think Mr. DT should do it just for kicks, even if he gets the starter out without HAVING to do it!

I know, I wouldn't trade the experience for all the cow-bell you could put in a thimble.
