broken header bolt

[H2R]

If it were me I would look at ARP Bolts made for headers with the locking rings. I owned a Super Gasser and always used the products.

Hi Guys, I just noticed I have at least three broken. I'm planning on replacing all with new gaskets. I have a couple of questions, what should the new bolts be torqued to? Should I use any Antiseeze or Locktitie on the threads? And last but not least, should the engine be cold, warm, or hot in order to remove the bolts the easiest? Thanks for your help, RJ03

I have had mine done 2x by the dealer already in my 03 H2. Covered under extended warranty to 100K miles - 72K on it now... Dealer says it's a very common issue...

header bolts breaking is a common thing? That's the first time I've ever heard that for a vehicle... usually if someone overcranks and puts too much torque on one. Just weird how it just randomly happened. You gotta remember that if you buy stainless header bolts, they are weaker than plain steel.
