just put some shorty headers on. my bolts keep coming loose. i going to use the blue lock tight on each one one at a time but do you think i will need to replace my gaskets when i do this? only driven the car 5 times with new gaskets. thanks
Got a question, if torque wins races why isn't everyone running diesel motors that have massive torque and small horsepower?
What in the hell does that have to do with me sleeping with your mom? (j/k)

it would be wise to remove ALL of the bolts and inspect the gasket. Since you had some bolts loosen up on you, it might have gotten burnt up a little bit, and will never seal again.
If the gasket looks good, slap some red RTV silicone on it (thin coat) and jam that biotch back in place. Also, locking header bolts are ALWAYS a good idea!
i see we have a fairly new douch bag on the forum. if you have a question about my sig phrase, go ask carol shelby. thats a quote from him. thanks for your help guys. i will inspect the gasket very well.
