Why not just buy some Stage 8 locking header bolts so you'll never have to do this again?

i like the new split lock header bolts. i don't have them yet but i will. i've had problems with them coming loose all the time. i currently use allen head bolts and just check now and then. i was looking into the stage 8 lockers but my buddy who has them said that they are a pain in the azz to put on and take off...PB

A small dab of high temp red RTV on each bolt will help.
