sounds like it is lot easier to take headers off and then do it, with less swearing and beer! but it is great video as everybody else making video by explaining and not actually doing it, to see how hard it is! great job
No for the headers to be removed they need to be loosened from their collector pipes which are usually seized up by rust and when those bolts break that would be another saga not mentioning chasing leaks upon reassembly.
Headers suck, but how about the brake lines? They could literally be installed anywhere under the hood, but some reason someone thought it’s be a good idea to place them directly in the way of the spark plug access. I guess the engineers aren’t mechanics. They don’t think about maintenance, asinine design could have easily been worked into different locations , GM is kinda stupid
I have to watch again. It’s been a long time but ultimately it was a broken spring in the heads that I was chasing causing the valve to not work properly and create a misfire. I found out cause I took the heads in to get reconditioned and saw it when I handed it over to the guy. If I had known and checked that first. I would have saved a ton of work and cussing lol. But I learned a lot about the ole girl.

header bolts are stainless steel if it is done right

Yeah they made a quick iconic car but didn’t think of the future. Back windows don’t even go down all the way lol
What caused your plugs to do that?
