Banks Headers?
 

Does anyone have experience with banks headers? I have a 2KTJ 4.0L. The
Banks are less $ than Borla and I do not find any other choices for this
year.
Thanks to the group for all I have learned. - Allen

Keep in mind that's on a ZJ. I had to do a bit of grinding on
the motor mount. YMMV.

Use antisieze on all bolts and follow the book for sequence and torque.
Put a thin coat of permatex copper on the metal surfaces, that will help
prevent any leaks. By thin I mean a bead about this --> o <-- size and
no bigger. You will find a couple of bolts that can only be had with
a crecent wrench. I found it was easier if the airbox was out.

The only thing I will say is when you get that puppy, wipe it down
with rags BEFORE you handle it with your bare hands. They don't clean
off the milling material and I spent about an hour taking stainless steel
splinters out of my hands. (OW!) >_<

There are a few websites out there with more info on the general procedures
for header removal/install. But this should get you started.

(The torque should be the same but check your specs first)
(Temp files are only there for about a week)

There is a company called (I think) Crown that makes them for the TJ, although I dont
know about your year. The 4x4 shop I was using at the time I needed to have mine
changed out suggested them, and I have not had any trouble with it yet.

I put one on my 96 4.0L I6 XJ. One bolt was no fun at all to get to. Other
then that it was very stright foward. The frst thing I noticed was it runs
cooler. Second was even more low end grunt.
