I recently discovered 2 missing header bolts and one bolt was almost about to fall out. The bolts were torqued down to spec when we did the motor swap, and I only have about 4k on the new motor.. anyone else run into anything like that?

Striped5.0 said:Mine did the same thing after we put new Headers on mine. This spring I came to find out that almost all were loose and 2 had fallen out. We did the exhast about 3 yrs ago. Might as well replace your headgaskets b/c those are prob blown as well. I know my passenger side one is but its to much of a PITA to take off the S/C and bracket to fit it right now.
he probably meant header gaskets...my header bolts were doing the same thing, then the gaskets would let go, and it is a PITA to replace them, so I tried blue Loctite once, it worked for me...someone may have a specific reason not to though...haulbalz said:And just why would he have to replace his headgaskets? that has nothing to do with header bolds coming out...
