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

loctite won't work on exhaust, it'll melt right off. You could use locking 'pinch' nuts though.

But realistically, there's no reason that just new studs and nuts wouldn't work. If they don't I'd start looking to see what could be causing them to come loose.-------------------- '99 Celica GT - Sold

Bitter the bolt is loosening or the flange is warped? Jun 14, 2012 - 7:03 PM
