New ARP header bolts

[Adtheman]

Managed to find some ARP header bolts to give a nicer finish to my headers. Many thanks to Scott at CK for the loan of his expensive’S’ spanner it would have been a beach to get in there without it. Hopefully see some of you guys at Stonham Barns in a couple of weeks.

Great fixings Ad. I use the same ARP's on mine - just be sure of two things. That the 12 point bolts are not too short (and may work undone or strip internal thread in head) - or conversely a little too long and bottom-out (again risking stripping thread in head). Best use plain flat plain stainless washers to minimise damage to header flange and maximum torque. Use a little copper anti-seize grease on the threads. Buy yourself a 3/8" 12 point socket - should just squeeze in. Will allow you to apply a higher torque.
If the header gaskets leak - try Percy's multi-layer steel gaskets.
