pegscraper Posted August 9, 2008 Share #2 Posted August 9, 2008 Unbolt them. Clean the surface on the heads. Bolt the new ones down. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GeorgeS Posted August 10, 2008 Share #7 Posted August 10, 2008 There are O-Ring Seals, where they bolt to the Heads. Its advisable to replace the O-Rings. Some folks have said it was still leaking with new O-Rings, so he used Sealant in addition to the New seals. I haven't done this job, so can't say for certain. But if you are having leakage problems, might be worth considering. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pegscraper Posted August 10, 2008 Share #8 Posted August 10, 2008 The 2nd gen intake boots do not have removable O rings. The 1st gens do, and the V Maxes do. His '99 will not. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
