I got mine as tight as i could with a 7/16 wrench ( kinda short ) and they dont leak. I used the paper gaskets and the cheap bolts. Just remember to come back and tighten them again after a few days of driving.

It's been awhile since I've looked under the hood of a LT1 with LT's..so you can get a Torq bar in there to check the ft lbs on the header bolts? cool beans!
