Im getting ready to install srt8 headers on my r/t. Can the stock r/t bolts be reused or are they to long? if not what bolts should i use? also what should i put on the bolts? lock tight? antisieze?
you need to use 6.1 header bolts. The 5.7 bolts won't work. The 6.1 bolts are the best out there anyway...they will never loosen,they come with a special loctite from the factory....make sure to use factory 6.1 header gaskets as well.
I suggest the factory R/T gaskets. The ports are the same, and the R/T gaskets have a heat shield lip which protects the valve cover gasket and alternator cable.
