Thread Sealer or Anti-Sieze on Header Bolts?
Thread Sealer or Anti-Sieze on Header Bolts? I am installing headers this weekend and should I use anti-sieze or loctite on the bolts?

Loctite is pointless, it will just turn liquid. Use thread sealant, or install them dry. I installed all of mine dry and they are still as tight as when I put them on 6 months ago.

I use anti-seize for aluminum and steel issues and ease of dis assembly

Work your way from center out. I do it minimum 3 times to make sure they are all snug. Never had any back out.
