Intake Manifold Bolts

[Customlinkage]

Hello Everyone,
What kind of screws and bolt dressing do you use to keep the intake tight?

I just use ARP stainless bolts and the white ARP thread sealer. Hope this helps.

What is it on? Usually you don't need any sealer. Maybe a little blue Loctite for insurance.

I use ARP 12 point bolts with antisize due to the alum heads. I tighten them starting from the middle. Then I go back and do it again. Then after I run the engine I retighten them or check them along with the head studs. Never had to touch them after that.
If you have iron heads and yours are comming loose I would slap some red loctite on them. That will hold them for sure.

I've found intake bolts loosen up because of detonation anti seize and stainless boltsworks well.
