Header bolts, rusty (sat for winter)
Hi all,
replaced headers last July with PS LT's, I re-used my old header bolts. No problems at all rest of year. November, I stopped driving the car like I always do and I am currently getting it ready for spring, but noticed that the header bolt's and other areas on the LT's are rusty. I just dont remember the header bolts being rusty while on the old headers. And I was under the impression that the new headers were not going to get rusty. Should I consider the header bolts a problem? Remove them and purchase new ones? I probably should have done so anyway, but I did a lot of research on the site here and read that many people just re-use the bolts. Any other suggestions for the rust on the LT's? I am assuming its just from sitting all winter.
Thanks in advance.

Thank you all for the replies. I intend on just getting some new one. Should have done it first go around, but lesson learned. Thanks.

If you want bolts that won't rust or come loose, these are THE best.
