anyone recommend a header bolt that has a smaller head than say what Jeg's sales or what you can buy off the shelf at Advanced auto....

I am having a leak at the #6 primary, I think it is due to the bolt head not really being able to pass the primary and seat on the flange, it feels tight but I think it is a clearance issue.

I had thought about the allen wrench headed ones and I could cut down the head and still be able to wrench it with the allen wrench.

 

How about some stainless steal ARP 12pt header bolts.
I'm going to give them a try when I get my headers coated.

What headers are you running? As for header bolts, you can't go wrong with the Brelins. If you have a bit of length left on the bolt, you could try a washer or some type of spacer between the bolt head and the flange. Did you replace the gasket once it leaked? If not, it'll never seal in my experience...

 

Used set of Hooker LTs with copper header gaskets.
the spacer idea i might try this weekend.
Would running 2 paper style gaskets possibly work?

 

Yeah i tried copper gaskets and that didnt seal so i doubled up on the paper gaskets that they sent with the headers. So far its been working like a champ.
