As opposed to dropping 40$ on the stage 8 bolts (which really do look nice... but worth 40$ I don't think so), I was thinking of Loc-Titing the header bolts.

Using BBK LT's. Is Loc-Tite a viable alternative to the Stage 8's?

The thing about the stage 8 bolts is that you just remove a clip and then they should come out. But with loc-tite its going to always be holding it. I would either use the stage 8's or nothing at all.

if your gonna use loctite, might as well weld the headers to heads. if you ever expect to remove either nuts or bolts later better put some anti seizo. i'm not having any problems with stock studs and nuts, though i did mount solid motor mounts, so motor movement is not. motor movement plays a big effect on creating header leaks and bolts backing out. when you loctite the bolts in and you go to remove, one of the bolt heads break off and you will be drilling and trying easy outs to get it out and end up buying new replacement heads, that headache costs more than 40bucks for some locking header bolts.

Where does one buy the correct header bolts?

Specs (i.e thread, length etc)
