Hey guys,

i have owned my stang for a few weeks now and so far theres no issues, brakes had to be done for inspectioon but that was it.

But... these header bolts are starting to become a bit of an anoying problem, they keep loosening off - in fact 2 are misssing on one side. Is there any trick to keeping these tight? i know thread lock will just burn off, i tried to use it on the turbo bolts on my 240 before lol. and what size are the bolts, seeing i need to pick up 2?

Thanks.

When installing headers I will retighten the bolts every couple days for a week and they stay nice and snug after that. I am running BBK shorties and the bolts on mine stay tight.

Header bolts... so much fun. You can get high heat loc-tite, I've used it on countless header bolts and it has never been a problem. The aforementioned process of retightening the bolts is also critical.

These little guys are holding my headers on, they work quite well, I would suggest trying to get a few extra c-clips though, will save a lot of cursing and swearing.

I have BBK shorties and I used ARP header bolts and havent had any issues with them loosening up.
