71monte Posted April 28, 2008 Share Posted April 28, 2008 I have hooker competition headers on a 350 SBC I'm lookin to replace them, and I was wondering if I should stick with those or go with something different. I just want some opinions or advice from those of you that have delt with these, they are quite hard to work around with the spark plugs and tightening bolts. any suggestions?? Thanks Mike Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kc8oye Posted April 28, 2008 Share Posted April 28, 2008 i solved the losening of bolts problem. I used those aluminum gaskets (at the heads) that look like layered tinfoil.. they compress.. so they hold the bolts nice and tight. and they don't leak.. and if for some reason the do leak, they don't burn the gasket away, you just retighten and on your way. otherwise you use STage-8 locking fasenters Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sam (Bones) Posted April 28, 2008 Share Posted April 28, 2008 when you decide, go to.... jet hot coatings they have a better coating, and it's inside and out. alot of times it's cheaper than buying them from jegs, summit and others Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
680HPStroker Posted April 28, 2008 Share Posted April 28, 2008 Thermal Tech in Hopewell Virginia does the same type of coatings as does Jet Hot, but at a lower price. IMHO their quality is exellent. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
