How to Dimple headers for Spark Plug clearance!!

How to make room for your spark plugs if they hit the primary tubes of your headers. especially on angle plug heads with second generation camaros.

Denting headers doesnt cause hp loss look it up on engine masters

[@donkeydiehard879]

Would make it a lot easier if you used some heat. Even propane or map if you don't have an oxy torch. Lesser chance of creasing or cracking, especially with cheap or old headers. Just my experience. Great video with a great result.

Thank u for that..and thanks for watching

Loving the phrase dimples 😁

[@klowny1969]

Thank u sir

I have to do a similar job to get a decent Driveshaft/Tail-shaft clearance on a round cross-member.
Not sure how yet because it's welded in place & not removable. There is no room to swing a hammer under there either.
Might have to invent a bolt down tube crusher of some description. It will have to be pretty heavy duty though, because the cross-member tube is made from 2.5mm steel.

Sounds like fun lol..good luck

You got a nice voice! It's nice to hear it. You should do some voice overs or comedy.

[@klowny1969]

lol thanks

Great video! I'm gonna do the same to my header to clear the steering shaft on my swap, im guessing the solid brass piece is to get the dimple started?

[@klowny1969]

You want something round so it won't gouge the header...don't forget to subscribe

[@firstpersonjay5655]

Wrap the headers that will keep the heat down as well

[@garyacker7388]

What do you use to tighten the header bolts on the inside of the bend? You know like the #1 cylinder on both sides?

[@klowny1969]

I have a video called how to install headers..will show you step by step

[@klowny1969]

Sorry don't know a chris

[@chumbucket8730]

Is using a vice another way to create the dimple?

[@klowny1969]

Chum Bucket I would becareful using a vice on headers

[@superfuntime3107]

Would using a header on vises be acceptable ?

[@chrisgressett7829]

Im using a c clamp with success with header installed

[@ramvanbobby3889]

Put some butter sauce on it

[@klowny1969]
