header Question
Hey guys I have ARH 1 7/8th long tubes with high flow cats. After I installed them I Heat cycled them and then torqued the head gasket bolts after about a week and some came a little lose but not to bad. My question is how many heat cycles did anyone with headers do? As i said i did it once after a week and some of them were a little lose. Does it need to be done again? Thx fella's.

Did you use blue loctite on the bolts? You should only have to retorque a MAX of once if done right.

Never use locktight in the headers.
You should only have to heat cycle them once. |

I don't recommend putting anything in the heads.
