I just replaced the header gaskets today and I'm using the stage 8 locking header bolts. First, what do I need to torque these things down? There's room for a socket on maybe 2 or 3 bolts, the others I've been using a combination of a 3/16" allen wrench and 11mm open end wrench and getting them as tight as I can. The other issue is, the locking retainer depends on the orientation of the bolt. One of the 6 points has to be in the 12 o'clock position to slide the retainer onto the bolt. If after torquing the bolt does not line up, should I loosen it until the retainer can go on or just skip using the lockers?
Thanks.
Thanks.
