Hello, my stock manifold header bolts have 50k on them and I just purchased some used mac mids and o/r y. Can I reuse the bolts from my stock exhaust manifold on my mids? Already bought new exhaust gaskets.

You can re-use them, but I would take a wire brush and scrape off the factory loctite type stuff. Once you get the bolts out you'll see it on the last couple of threads of the bolt, all crusty nshit. You could break most of it off with your finger/fingernails, but I'd use the brush just to be safe.

when i took mine off i put them in a milk jug that i sprayed a bunch of wd40 in and let them set there for 2 days.. and when i got the headers put on i just put them back in with no prob. and my car has 108k miles.

I just simply screwed em back in when I put my Edelbrocks on my old car lol. Ther didnt back off the whole time they were on up to when I sold the car, they went right back in finger tight even. The only reason I resued em is because I liked em better than the ones that come with the Edelbrocks.

I have a header leak after my Pacesetter Lt install. I think I crossthreaded the threading? will any silicone type of material work? lol
