Reply to "Header Swap FAQ"

You are definitely have the right approach in trying to remove the header bolts since, without the benefit of having the motor out of the car, you will have a heck of a time if you do break a bolt.

When you finally get the old bolts out, consider using good quality bolts as suggested before. Also, use anti-seize compound the threads of the new bolts to make future removals easier.

As for locking methods, I've looked at the ones that you've mentioned as well as others discussed somewhere else on this forum in the past and I went with nord-lock washers on SS ARP bolts and have had very good luck with them. Check out their web site for more info - www.nord-lock.com.

Good luck and happy wrenching.
