I had my Hooker LT's installed about 2 weeks ago. I noticed that above the #1 primary and #2 primary the gasket(percy's dead soft aluminum) is starting to turn brown. So i know it is leaking from there. I put all but 2 of the locking clips on the drivers side but i didn't get any on the passenger side. Now i'm having a really hard time getting the damn clips off. I have to take them off because i gotta change gaskets. So i'm wondering if the stage 8 bolts would be good to use without the locking clips or if i should go with some ARP bolts? Or has anybody tried using the Breslin bolts and how easy are those to install and uninstall the locking clips?

I don't know, but I used the felpro gaskets with ARP 1" SS 12pt bolts for my SLPs.

Haven't evidenced any problems yet (hope).

Problem with the Stage 8s is screwing with the locks when you need to remove bolts or retorque them. JMHO

 

Do you have a summit part # for those bolts? That # you gave me doesn't seem to work. For the Felpro Gaskets do you have to use gasket sealer stuff on those? Also has anybody used the Breslin bolts and how do you like them? Thanks.

 

there pt# is arp4001101

 

Thx for the part #. I gonna go ahead and order the ARP 1inch 12 point bolts from them.

 

I just ordered the Stage 8 locking type. Should work OK.

 

I have the stage 8 on there already. But it is a pita to try and tighten them down. I gotta use a 7/16 wrench and i can't even turn the damn thing on the back 2 bolts. Also the clips don't really work with the big primaries on the hooker lt's
