Richard,

When you install the headers -- if your install is like the one I completed -- I used the Thorley bolts on all locations except the front on the drivers side. A bracket mounts there as well and requires a longer bolt.
And, I was albe to get a torque wrench on only about half of the bolts due to the configuratio of the header tubes.

Good luck,
Dennis

Soon will be installing a set of Thorleys for the first time and using
Remflex gaskets.

Should I use High Temp Sealant on the gaskets??

Plan to use the standard torque of 25 ft lbs on the bolts with 75% on
the center bolt.

Can/Should I use the bolt locks with the Headers??

TIA
