Default Header Install complete

Finished installing my headers today. Everything went very smooth except for getting the clutch linkage out of my way, bad repair manual info. Pulled the dip stick dropped the starter moved a/c compressor and romoved alternator. Also got rid of AIR pump. I put the cheapie black headers on and was told(aftere installion) that i should use locktit on the header bolts. Is that true. I know that header bolts have a tendancy to loosen up and blow gaskets but i also don't want the bolts seizing up. Should i put locktite on it.

I also drove it down the road with open headers, everything rumbles its great. :party:

Lock tight is useless it will just break down from the heat.

Stage 8 locking header bolts would help.
