I was going to get locking header bolts, ever had to re-tighten your reused bolts?

Will do. As soon as my quad sells I plan on buyin ARH! So just so I have everything straight, the headers will come with new gaskets right? And I will need to dyno tune afterwards, anything else? Can someone give me a link to a site that sells locking header bolts please, I cant find them on AR, LMP, or LP also cant find new gaskets on those sites...

Well I put them on last weekend so no not yet lol

I used lock washers under the nuts that went on the studs so I'm hoping they hold. As long as you're careful either will work. I just didn't want to risk threading something into the block that I didn't have to. I think I used 3 locking bolts on the drivers side and 2 on the pass. The rest were just studs that stayed in.

lethalperformance.com sells stage 8 locking bolts and gaskets
