     Cool! Thanks Richard. I got the '96-'98 instructions and they don't
     mention any donuts (I understand why not, now).
     
     Two more stupid question...
     
     1.) How the hell did you guys get a torque wrench on the bolts?!
     With the bends in these pipes there is NO WAY I'm gonna' be able to
     get my torque wrench on at least three of the six bolts per side...
     
     Warning: The second one is really stupid!
     
     2.) One of my header gaskets were cut through in one place but they
     fit flush together... Am I asking for leaks if I try to use this
     gasket or should I just trash it and get a new one? (I warned you it
     was a stupid question.)
     
     T.
     
     <<The "donut" things are only for "certain '92-'95 models" according
     tho the instruction sheet. If you are having any problems, I suggest
     you call Jeff. He is eager to help.
