They backed out twice so far. How do I stop this from happening?

I do not think locktite is suitable under high heat conditions. My vote goes to the Stage 8 locking header bolts that the Disturbed One linked to.

This has happened on every set of headers on any vehicle I have used. Sometimes would have an exhaust leak n find an empty hole. You have 2 choices... Check n tighten them constantly or buy some locking header bolts.
