How the hell are you supposed to install the PES manifold!?!?!?
I just put the manifold on and I have absolutely no way to get to the bolts on the top at all. Anyone that has installed this kit should know what I'm talking about. I bought an offset wrench but it isn't offset enough to get around the head and where I can get to the bolts the manifold is so close to them I can't really get the wrench on. What tools should I use to get to these bolts? Thanks. What is different about the new PES manifold I am hearing about?

The new PES manifold is flat, I think that on yours the runners go up and block the bolts

On mine you can reach all but one bolt w/o ANY special tool. There is one that you actually need an open ended wrench for. lol - but still easy.
I guess now I understand why DigitalA4 was making a big deal about the new manifold. he said the old one was a PITA...

The angle needed for the PES manifold might be different but it should be close to this picture.
