header bolts/studs

[oldsnofear]

HEY I JUST GOT SOME TTI 1 3/4 HEADERS FOR MY 69 MY QUESTION IS HEADER BOLTS OR STUDS MY HEADS HAVE A COUPLE OF HELI COILS IN THEM. I SEEN A POST THAT SAID USE BOLTS WITH ULTRA COPPER BUT WHAT IF YOU HAVE TO RETORQUE THE BOLTS? OR IS THAT NOT A PROBLEM WITH THE TTI'S? thanks

Every header will need to be re-torqued. Brand doesn't matter. The sealer is quit important as some of the thread holes for your exhaust are drilled into the water jacket and will leak under pressure without it.

Most use bolts with headers as the turn of some of the primary tube will not allow using studs.


Hope this helps..
