I am putting on new header gaskets and am not going to reuse the old bolts. Anybody know what thread size is and how long?
Thanks
Thanks
Thank you, yes it is pretty tight on a couple of them. Had a hard time getting to the Allen heads. It was a real pain. Took me over two hours to get them off. : (
Any tips or special tools that make it easier?
Those percy gaskets are really nice, I use them also, but have had good luck with these bolts.

Ditto on denting the primary tubes. The only one I needed to was the #7 (rear driver's side) but I could tell I needed to before I installed them. I had a hard time putting a bolt in that hole when I tested it ahead of time. I'd suggest trying to scope the headers out closely BEFORE you're fighting them in the engine bay. I had a spare motor sitting that I test fit mine on but you don't even have to have another engine to test your wrenches for reach.
