I have a set of headers on my Celica 7A-FE but I keep getting a leak right by my header gasket so I was looking into getting locking header bolts so I can tighten it up cleanly and avoid the head aches(police). Any help would be appreciated even the size bolt would help. Thanks

Adding to Smaay's answer and taking it way farther than it needs to go.
If for some reason new nuts don't work, try loctite. If for some reason that doesn't work, and then try security locknuts. Now if this still isn't working, then nothing is going to hold it on and I don't even think that welding it directly to the head would work. In which case, you may need to start looking elsewhere for your problem(motor mounts or severe imbalance in the engine). -------------------- '99 Celica GT - Sold
