PerTronix© thanks you for choosing JBA HEADERS, the best fitting, highest quality
header on the market. In order to realize the full potential of our good fit, please read and
understand these instructions completely prior to starting work.

Check to make sure you received the proper parts for your application. The header number
will be stamped on the engine flange. If you are unsure you have received the proper parts
call before you start work.

Be sure to work safe! Whenever you work under the vehicle be sure that it is located on
level, solid ground and is supported by adequate safety stands! Remember: Hot asphalt will
not support most jack stands!

Many factors affect the installation of headers, some of which are broken or aftermarket
motor mounts, accidents that impact the configuration of the frame, and/or the installation
of different engines or aftermarket cylinder heads.

Attention Customers breaking in new engines: Due to the extreme heat generated during
the break-in process, the appearance of the ceramic coating may be altered in certain areas.
The protection characteristics and thermal barrier properties of the coating is never com­promised. It is recommended that a cast iron manifold or old set of headers be used for this
process.

Notice: The coating of these headers can be marred or scratched during installation. If the
header needs to be returned and is damaged, you will be charged for recoat.

JBA uses sealing beads on all its headers. We have found that when installed correctly, the raised bead around
each port increases the pressure exerted on the gasket directly adjacent to the port and effectively prevents leak­ing gaskets. It is normal for the flange to be raised off the cylinder head the thickness of the sealing bead. It is
important when installing the header, to install all bolts loosely, then tighten evenly to ensure the flat installation
of the flange. The torque sequence from one flange to another will vary, but generally every bolt on a header
should be first fit snug, starting from the inside of the flange working out, alternating from top to bottom so
that the bolt connects the flange to the manifold to the point where they barely touch. Second, using the same
inside-out pattern, tighten each bolt until finished. This method will help prevent leakage and will give the user
the best possible performance out of their pair of headers.
