header bolt fell out
so yesterday i was under my car messing with the cat back when i found one of my header bolts laying on the ground. I have hooker lt's cerramic coated with the gasket that came with them which was allright. The bolts that came with the heads were very short. I mean like only got probbley a couple of threads in the head. I have afr 205 heads. My question is how deep is the bolt hole in the heads so i can find better bolts with more clamping force? Did i mention the few threads form the head were still on the bolt laying on the ground Oh yea now i have a fat header leak

im getting ready to put a bigger cam in mybe i will just take one of those front cover bolts and see if it fits then go get alot more. I was looking at some arp header stods but they look like they dont go into the head much further ither. Anyone have them arp studs. I was looking at the ones on thounder racings website. any body know where they may have longer ones?

It sounds like you have a problem with them just backing out in general, a nice set of stage8 bolts would be perfect in this case.

i used lots of anti-sieze on these. All the bolts stayed ok snug execpt that one which fell out with head threads still on it. I guess ill make the plung for some 100 dallor studs form arp.
