important info for header owners!!!!!!

what ever you do....DO NOT touch the headers with the car running....
I had just started the car ...it was making some new noises.I thought ,oh,oh!they loosened up,....grab it just long enough to realize i had just cooked my thumb and middle finger...the good news...now when i jerk off...I'll be able to imagine it's Selma hiayk(sp?)...since i have no feeling and it feels alot like i spilled crazy glue on them...please try atleast at first not to laugh to hard at this, as i am still in alot of pain ...and have not found the ability to laugh myself...

all you had to say was "dont' touch the headers when they're hot."

that would've been enough...but instead, now i'm going to have nightmares about crazy glue and jerking off.

Hmm isn't it common sense not to touch whats known as an exhaust mandifold where hot gases are expelled from the engine anyhow The stock manifold has a do no touch hand sign, right?

BTW TypeR,

Just in case you feel the need to in the future here are a few things that you also not do.

1. Stick your fingers under a running lawnmower
2. Pour hot coffee on yourself.
3. Blow dry your hair in the bathtub.

One the other hand, since there wasn't a warning to not be stupid (as there NOW are in the above cases) you could probably file a suit against Comptech and make a killing.

You Forgot...

Never grab the spark plug wires on a running car while placing the other hand on the chassis.
