Title: header torque? Post by weracerc on 06/28/11 at 12:47:02 ok i got a new crush gasket for the header/head connection - and I have to re-torque the bolts once or twice a week - I notice shift pops increase and sure enought the bolts are 1/8 to 1/4 turn loose......anyone have a good fix (besides loctite) dont want to put anything on the threads that will preevent me from getting the header off when needed......just need them bolts to stay tight - did not have this problem with the old gasket.

Title: Re: header torque? Post by Serowbot on 06/28/11 at 12:55:16 I left the old gasket on, and added a new one on top... Double gasketed... More crush room... I always put a little engine assembly lube on the bolts, so locktite is out... You might try a light scoring down the length of the bolt threads to give them a bit of bite... just a scratch with a sharp screwdriver can sometimes make a difference...
