Hey friends. I know this is a bit of a nooblet question but Im kinda hitting a brick wall here.
I have an ERL cast stainless exhaust manifold and im running a holset H1C. This is like the 4 time my bolts have backed out. It doesnt seem to matter how much I tighten them. Im going to buy a stainless gasket tonight cause im tired of burning up the thing ones. It doesnt do it all the time just randomly. I have driven it six months and then it will just do it out of the blue. I am running just standard grade 8 bolts with lock washers. I have read horrible reviews on the ARP bolts and I have never known it to be a good idea to run stainless bolts to a stainless thread which is what the ERL is made of.
Any suggestions. I have read to locktite but I would think it would just burn out from the insanely high turbo temps.
Im driving this thing everyday right now untill I get something else for a winter beater so any help would be awesome.
