  • exhaust leak/tightening locking header bolts

    so i just got my headers done... sounds good, but from 1500 RPMs up, when im accelerating, there is a loud ticking noise. i am assuming that its a leak... which pisses me off because i have the locking bolts. i ordered the ones from ftpp which dont specify the size or anything, so i dont know what wrench to use to tighten them.
    is there anything different i have to do to tighten them because they are locking bolts, or is it the same as a regular bolt?

    The stage 8 locking bolts are the same as regular bolts except that the stage 8 bolts have the odd shaped hex-washer that goes over it and a clip to hold it on so the bolt doesnt turn.
