Just ordered this.
Is it an exhaust leak then?

That's what I'm thinking. That smoke coming from the lower header area after sitting, convinced me. I hope I'm right.
You'll be able to tell when you look at the old gaskets. I had a leak with mine and thought I had lifter tick.

In your opinion, what's a good header bolt to get? I had stainless steel on there, now I bought stainless that are zinc coated. Grade 10.9 M8's. Think I need to put lock washers on there? With the heating and cooling off they back out.
ARP 134-1102. They come with lock washers. I wouldn't use anything else after messing with broken bolts. And the Remflex has specific torque specs that need to be followed in order to compress them right. I just checked my bolts last month when I replaced plugs and they're still torqued right.

Got my header bolts.
Can't do anything this weekend tho, rain on/off, and no garage. I also picked up some lock washers.

Those will work. If you hadn't already ordered them I would suggest the ARP's but since you have those, its good. They look the same except ARP are black and I'm not sure what they're made of, it's a secret.

The ones that are in there now are fine, got them with my headers, just wanted to go new. Think I should go with some type of Loctite?
I've never heard of anyone using loctite on header bolts.

I'll just send more. I've never had problems with the mail until some recent eBay orders. One item was a week late and another about 6 weeks late. The seller and I considered it "lost" and I was refunded, then it showed up unexpectedly a week later.
You got a good girl! She deserves "favors".

Washed it yesterday. That's all. Poured today.
