Anyone use the split lock header bolts?

Need to R+R the right header and those stage 8's are a pia with the c ring setup. The Breslins are spendy but look to be nicer to work with. Anyone?

Regular hardened bolts with heat treated lock washers have never failed me. Screw all that fancy ****.

I use hardened allen bolts without washers. They work great in tight places.

Been using Stainless ARPs for 12 years

My fear with the ones you are talking about is the center will get stuck and never come out

From my experience with LS motors, you don't "need" locking header bolts. They don't seem to come loose like on your old-school SBC motors. Not sure why, but I've never had to snug mine up, and all I have is the regular hard bolts with lock washers....
