Thx Ken

all you have to do is re-tighten the bolts after a couple of heat and cool cycles. works every time.

header bolts

i agree with cindys_sn95. i haven't had to tightened them once since intastalling them. i drove to work and home to work and home twice, re tightened them and they have never leaked :bigthumbsup

Just check them after a few hear cycles. I installed bbk shorty headers last year. I only had to re-tighten them one after a few cycles. I checked them this spring and they were still nice and tight.

I also just re-tightened them after a few heat cycles and tracing down some problems and they have not loosened since but I did use studs tho.

i used teflon tape on the threads. not too much, and they stay tight.

Thanks everyone! Just worried and didnt want to have to mess with them. Will take good advice and retighten after a few heat cycles.
