Small tube of red 272 locktight. It's high temp and high strength. Put two drops at the first threads of the header bolts and tighten them up. They won't come back out unless the hole is stripped. 6 dollars for a small tube. I use this stuff day in and day out and I buy the larger tube. A tube last me a year. Just a little goes a long way. One tube will do all the header bolts and have plenty left over. I like locktight almost as much as brakeclean, lol (you would have to know me and brake clean)

I looked a little closer and a lot of the bolts are pretty loose and I tightened up a few while I was at work and the ticking is less noticeable. Also if I put red loctite on will it be a really big pain to get off later down the road? thanks a lot
