When I installed my headers, I also bought some Stage 8 Locking header bolts to put on. I've put almost all the bolts on, but have run into 2 problems. What is the best way to get the locking clips onto the bolts? I've already dropped and lost a few trying to get them on. My second problem lies in that a few of the Stage 8 bolts won't even start to thread on in some of the holes. Is there any logical explanation for this? My stock bolts all fit into the holes that the Stage 8 bolts won't. Any help is great as always. Thanks.

Nobody at all knows. Come on guys, I really need the advice on this one.

sorry to say but re-use the stock bolts and don't force the stage 8's in cause you may cross thread them or the heads thread..If you really want to use the new bolts I recommend to re tap the holes your having problems with them put in the bolts.

or look at the end of the bolt....the end of the thread is probably all chewed up,orrr the very end thread doesnt come down far enough.try using a file to complete the thread.good luck!

I think I'll use some filing and retap the holes as well. That's a good idea. I have 9 or the 12 Stage 8 bolts already in. I just don't want my headers to walk out on me and burn up the gaskets. Any suggestions for getting the locking clips on?
