No need for lock-tite. You will have to retighten them once maybe twice after a heat cycle or two and you'll be good to go from there.

You can get the 1406's from Autozone, Advance, etc. Don't bother with mail ordering them.

I got tired of messing around with fiber type gaskets. I use solid copper header gaskets that I got from summit racing for 25 bucks, THey sealed great, header bolts aren't backing off either

Mr Gasket Copper Seals.
Glad I went ahead and bought these when I bought the headers.
