Install some Stage 8 locking bolts and be done with it.

Couple ways:

1. Stage 8 Locking header bolts (www.summitracing.com)
2. Split-Lock header bolts ( www.go-breslin.com ; www.cskauto.com )

I haven't personally used the 2nd ones.

Have you retightened them and they keep loosening?

I called CSK to see if they had the Split-Lock header bolts and they said they wouldn't have any info for about 1 to 2 months

I am curious to see the $$$

I have stage 8 now on my 81 and they are great but I was thinking of trying the Split-Lock header bolts on the 95. I will probably go with the Stage 8 again because I need locking header bolts now not in 2 months.
