    thermostat housing leak

    Don't over torque the bolts!! 15-22 ft-lbs. If you over torque, the o-ring distorts and it will leak. The o-ring needs to be clean and dry when you start putting it all back together and also the mounting suface on the housing and intake manifold. Do Not Overtighten!!!

    Can someone measure the hieght of their Bullitt or one with a Buillitt kit installed?

    I think the shop didn't get the front pig tails in the right position on the a-arm. If the spring is 180* off you can easily raise the front by 1". Take a wheel off and look at the bottom of the spring where it sits in the a-arm and you will see right away if it is in correct. Not hard to fix...
