I getting ready to install LT headers and I bought the locks for the header bolts. My question is after I tighten the header bolts do I put on the header bolt locks or do I wait until it goes through a few heat cycles?

I don't want to have to retighten them over and over.

If your talking about the Stage 8 then put them on during install. I asked them the same question when I used them the first time. Stage 8 also said there should be no need to retorque.
