Re: Where to buy SS small head header bolts
My experience has been as follows.
Contrary to most beliefs, Stainless steel header bolts will get loose and back out more likely than high quality steel bolts. The reason for this is two fold, I always use a high quality high temp. anti-sieze paste. Stainless bolts expand more than high quality steel bolts. A high quality anti-sieze paste will actually slow the process of galvanic corrosion. If you dont use anti-sieze you risk galling the threads. ARP makes the bolts you need, they are available at great prices through any of the common speed shops- Summit,Jegs or DC Performance.
Fred that was a great write up.
