header fastener question

What is everyone using that's effective? When I took my motor out, I found several bolts that backed out and exhaust leaks out the ***, therefore loosing boost.

I was thinking about those, but I don't know how well that would work with clearance. Or are you able to install them one at a time?

I generally haven't had a problem with the header bolts backing out if stock steel head gaskets are used. It's always a good idea to check the bolt tightness after the first 100 miles of use. Bob

Check Percys split lock header bolts, almost half the price of arp studs.

I bet, i curse the damn manifolds hanging over the side of the car trying to get the bolts started.

Always thought it would be nice to have studs to just drop the headers onto. that would make life pretty damn easy, IMHO
