Missin a bolt

You can pick up a set of header bolts at any auto parts store. You will probably have to buy a complete set though rather than just one.

the MAC headers cant use the stock bolts cause theres a washer that wont let you tighten it down and also the heads are to large any other suggestions, there AMC equal length shorty headers.

Mmmm, I have Mac headers and used the bolts I got at an auto parts store. They have an allen head on them and have worked fine.

If you're driving around without a header bolt, you're going to find out how fun it is to replace a header gasket real soon.

Any auto parts store should be able to get you a set of replacement header bolts. Just take one of the Mac ones into them and match them up. Replacement headers bolts are a good thing to have on hand. Header bolts have been known to back out. I've actually had one back all the way out on me before and I was glad I had some sitting around when I looked and saw one was missing!

You'll want to periodically check the to make sure the bolts are tight. I would definitely check them every hundred miles or so for the next few months. I've got a couple that will loosen up occasionally.

ive only had my motor in my car for about 2 months now, and already i have had 3 header bolts back out. can you use loctite on these or does it just burn up. SCRAPLA- if for some reason you cant find any, i can mail one to you, i have about 20 of them.
