There is a leak where the H-pipe meets the shorty headers on my '93 LX vert. I'm thinking all I need to do (hopefully) is tighten up the bolts right there. I know of the leak because I ran seafoam and a lot of the white smoke came up from the passenger side of the engine bay rather than just the tailpipes. Pretty sure where the headers meet the heads is fine.
Normally I'd just jack the car up and see how hard the bolts are to reach. But, working on cars is against HOA rules where I live, and I could be fined if I'm "caught". That's why I only want to jack my car up once and get the job done on the spot. So, I need to make sure I have the proper tools ready the first time.
Here is what I think I need, please tell me if I am missing anything:
- Jack and 2 stands
- Socket wrench
- Socket wrench extension (10 inch)
I guess I'm mostly curious if the wrench extension is adequate, or if I'd need some kind of joint adapter.
Thanks
