Use your stock bolts or get Stage 8 locking bolts.

I also used percys gaskets and stage 8 bolts. A little pain to get the bolts started but worth it imho.

Forget the stage 8's...they are a pain in the butt. The best bolt on the market is the breslin split-lock...by far! They have been out for several years. I knew the designer of the bolts. They have now been bought out by percy's.
