I use the locking header bolts too. Takes a couple minutes to lock but I like it.


First pass is 11 ft/lbs workinh inside outwards
Second pass is 18 ft/lbs same pattern.
That's the official torque specs.
I also like too run it till its hot then let it get cool...re torque at 18 ft/lbs

thanks AUTOT3K
double checked with dealer they said $360 5hrs labor. said ARH told them 4hrs labor to install them. Does not look like it would take that long at all.

And yea I take my time and am far from a pro mechanic and I know I could do it in under 4-5 hrs in my garage. I would find another shop or suck it up and wear some safety glasses and do it yourslef.
