pacesetter header bolts
pacesetter header bolts i just got my pacesetter lt and ory package from tsp. i was just wondering if the header bolts that came with it were fine to use or should i order some of the stage 8 bolts????
I used the ones I got with my pacesetter mid-lengths and didn't seen to have a problem. But they rusted quickly just like the headers. I just pulled them off last night swapping in some longtubes and I noticed the gasket was black showing I had a leak. Not knowing if it was from the bolts or undertorquing but I'm guessing undertorquing since a couple of them seemed too easy to remove. If you use them just double check the torque after a couple hundred miles of driving. But Grade 8 bolts are always nice 
I also used the bolts that came with my Pacesetters. I have yet to have a problem, but ive only had them on for maybe 4 months. I would just check them periodically and make sure they stay tight.
I reused my stock one son my Kooks 1 7/8's. If I change to anything it will be studs. I've used the stage 8 bolts in the past and found them to be a pain more than anything else.
