Am I correct for thinking the Breslin bolts seem much easier to install?
I need to replace the oem header bolts that keep backing out on me.

Also, is Summit/Jegs the cheapest place to buy them? $72

I have the Stage 8's on my Cobra. They work real well!

 

I've used Stage 8 header bolts on 3 cars, and I love them. They can be a pain in the butt to install, but once done, you never have to touch them again.

 

I got the breslins from jegs. They work great also.

 

I've used the Breslins on a couple of engines - no problems at all.....

Thanks, I'm leaning toward the Breslin bolts.

 

With the Breslins you don't have to worry about keeping track of the clips.

I saw where they had a Stainless option too, but I probably wouldn't go that route. Being a 17-4 Stainless it will be substantially weaker than a heat treated carbon steel. Also with the set screw being stainless, that's a big no-no to use stainless on stainless threads without using a lot of antisieze to keep them from galling together and siezing up. Even the copper high heat antiseize has a hard time holding up with the kind of heat a header bolt sees.

 

I got the Ford Racing/Stage 8's. Got them from either fordpartsonline.com or oemfordparts.com. They were cheaper then Summit.
