I just ordered Spintech mids & exhaust through Hipotek last week and I started wondering about a couple things after the fact.
Are they going to come with all the fasteners I need for the port plates, headers, and flanges or are those something I'm going to have to source on my own? If so, what are some decent ones people have had good luck with?
Also, I have a set of Mr. Gasket Ultra Seal gaskets that I think I'm going to try between the headers and port plates, and I'm probably going to try the Copper Permatex I have between the port plates and the heads. Or, are both of those a terrible idea? I assume if I end up buying Remflex gaskets that I want the p/n 6004?
Lastly, it sounds like I may have to grind down the passenger side upper control arm? Are there any pics floating around of exactly what needs to be ground down?
I'm just trying to get all of this stuff sorted out so that when I get the Spintechs, I won't be dicking around and figuring out/ordering this stuff last minute.
