dude now your scaring me! my pipes are bluish also! but I havent had any oil squirt on my legs when I gun it. If torquing it doesnt work we will have to do it together.

It's normal for all singled-walled chrome pipes to turn blue. Mine are royal blue (not just sky blue) at the first turn. Doesn't mean anything is wrong.

My pipes don't have the "normal" bluing on the turndowns. They are fine coming out of the head, then begin to blue and brown half way down the pipe. It is from oil hitting them when they are reeeeally hot.
We will do it together my friend. I am looking to begin on Saturday. May the Force be with us!

I've begun the project Mr Anderson. I am happy to say that is was much easier to do than expected. I have the head off and the blasted gasket off too. I just made a post with pics showing my progress. Check it out and don't be afraid! You will be happy when it is finished
