Proform Wedge Locking Header Bolts looking to stop the header bolts backing out. Anyone have any experience with this type of bolt? Thanks,

Don't fall for time/money wasting things.
Use a felpro graphite gasket with 1" long bolts and a lil bit of anti-seize on the threads.

I personally like them. Torque to 30 ft/# and use Earls pressure master gasket and they will never leak or need retightened. They're only like 10 dollars more than the ARP header bolts and that's real cheap insurance.
