Header bolt torque

[RT302]

Instructions say 20lb. Seems really low. Concerned about header bolts backing out. In my 95 I torqued them much higher and used threadlock still had to retighten every year or so. Do the coyotes not have that issue? What did you guys torque to?

Also instructions say to use anti seize not thread lock. Curious about that as well.

Thanks.

Also curious to know if you guys reused the factory header bolt/nut combos or used new header bolts. Any pros or cons to either?

I reused the stock header rods as much as possible. Could have used them at every spot probably. But it's time consuming.

You can't really get a torque wrench to most of them. Just get them tight lol. It's a bitch. I also reused the stock gaskets. 4k on the headers so far and no leaks.
