Stage 8 .750" bolts okay to use with Percy's gasket???
I remember reading that somebody thought that the stage 8 bolts were too short to use with percy's dead-soft gasket... I like the fact that the stage 8's have the allen screw. I'm thinking about getting ARP 1" long 3/8 hex head bolts but I will hold off if the stage 8's will work.
I need a quick answer, are stage 8 bolts okay to use with Percy's dead soft aluminum gaskets (thickness wise).

I think the SLP headers are 1/4 inch flange. The bolt locations are so ****ty I need the allen aspect of the stage 8's... I'm not paying 40 bucks for some stupid bolts that cost 2 cents a piece. If I get any they will be the 1 inch black oxide ARP's.

They sure do make 1" long ones.

That's what I have.
I didn't try 3/4s myself, but I've read someone saying that they did.

I have percy's with 3/4" stage 8 bolts. They were a PITA to install but i got it done. You can only get the bolts to barely catch the threads so you have to snug them up one at a time constantly working the header down evenly so you don't put to much stress on one bolt. If i would of thought ahead about how thick the gaskets were i would of gotten 1" bolts.
