Adam,

Experience(!) has shown header bolts to be problematic - as in: they vibrate loose and back off, even falling out on occasion.

Similarly, lockwashers can be hit and miss. Sometimes they too fall out.

I ended up putting these on more than 30K miles ago - no regrets, no loosening: https://www.jegs.com/p/Stage-8/Stage...49275/10002/-1

I had to modify a few of them to clear the header primary tubes by grinding a relief in them. Otherwise not too hard to install.

Hope this helps,

Tom
