Hey guys,
I cannot get the last bolt on my passenger side header tight enough, the closed end of the wrench will not fit and the open end slides off. I tried grinding down a wrench but took to much off of it and it changed the grip, so it started stripping the bolt. Not really a problem since it is so loose I can take it out with my hand.
Anyway, has anyone had any luck with something else. The ARPs I have ar 3/8 heads. I have seen some header fasteners that use hex keys but I am not sure if they would be able to torque down the bolt enough or if they would stip. Additionally, I know there are locking bolts....but I dont think I would be able to get them tight enough if the heads are 3/8"....so essentially I would be locking them loose.
If you guys have had any luck with anything else, please let me know or post links. I am getting tired of hearing that faint ticking from the exhaust leak....
Thanks,
Jeff
