Default BBK headers finally installed!

So I finally got my bbk headers in! It was a 12 hr job total because we ran into some small problems with bolts etc. Overall I really feel a nice gain down low which is what I was really looking for. The one problem I have is that I had to remove the oil tube to get the headers in and out and now the tube wont just go in easily, so I plugged it up and will try it out again later. I also ran into a lot of problems with the passenger side and how close the space was, and on both sides there is one stud and nut missing from the top corner in the back. Does anyone think that the one stud missing on each would do anything?

yeah I thought that it could happen also, so far since last night nothing. I do hear a tapping noise though when I get on the throttle. I am going to try to get the studs in but its just gonna suck.

So Since I never got those studs in, I took it to my friends shop so he can take a look at it, he said that the headers slightly block the bolt holes so I have to loosen them off and get the studs in that way. Now I have to lift the motor again...
