Hey its Adam95GT,
Im putting on the accufabs i bought and the fitment looks great... i have a set of brand new mister gasket .75'' headerbolts... but once through the flange and gaskets there doesent look like there is much thread left. Should i order a set of 1'' long bolts or go on with these??? There looks to be about 5 complete threads showing... I have alum. heads i just dont want to strip them out. Stripping bolts is my biggest fear... sad nut true... also anyone know the torque spec for header bolts on alum heads?
Thanks guys,
Adam

Hmm... i think i might be stuck with .75'' bolts... the .75 just barely bottoms out on the head with like one thread left... the flange thickness is only .25'' so if i go 1'' they will probably bottom out... i dont want to count on a gasket to make up for any difference.. and its too tight to get a washer on a header bolt.
