The same header bolt is lose??

just curious.. what would make a header bolt loosen up about every week? its the same one everytime.. i use ARP bolts w/ a little anti-seize on it, but it still loosens... any ideas of how to fix this or get to the bottom of this??

thanks

I'd switch to Stage 8s. They never loosen.

I had the exact same thing happen on mine. About every 2 weeks, last bolt on passenger side head would be a few turns loose. Never figured out why until I crawled under the car one day and looked up at the header, noticed I'd put lock washers on every single other bolt except that one. I replaced the gasket, put lock washers on every bolt, and havent had a problem yet.

it's funny you say that, because that's the same bolt that is loosening up.. i think i'll give the lock washer a try.. does ARP make one or just get one at a hardware store?

thanks
