Went to bolt my new headers on tonight and found out that my old bolts aren’t long enough due to the thick flange. What is everyone using that is running TTI headers?
What header bolts for TTI?

Do they come with the headers because I didn’t receive a set.

Headers were brand new. No bolts in the box. Maybe I’ll give TTI a call tomorrow.
5/16 x 1.25 usually work IIRC
I have a set of bolts from my TTI headers i only used once for my dyno/break in session and the collector gaskets, if you want PM me and if you pay shipping you can have them, also if I may make a suggestion look into remflex gaskets for your gaskets they are a little pricey but man do they seal good.

I used stainless with 12 point heads . I had trouble with the second bolt on the drivers side . Made a special wrench for it . I got tired of tightening them so I got a dead soft aluminum gasket , works great .

For some reason these did not work with my edlebrock heads. Got about half a turn then would stop. Any other ideas folks?

Hopefully those work. These header bolts have been a head ache.

I sure wish ARP would increase the length of their header bolts from 3/4" to 1".... Dunno why they make them so short... if you have 3/8" flanges, and then use a gasket, you have less than 3/8 of thread engagement, which is not really enough IMO.
ARP is so hard to work with, if you're not a top fuel dragster they kinda piss on you. I inquired on them making some longer valve cover studs for the small block Mopar and they quoted me a THOUSAND dollars. All day I repeated that number in my head and just laughed like I was high on crack. What a jiffy.

I wouldn’t have gone with ARP for this application honestly. I am a distributor of building materials so we work closely with fastener distributors that I can get cheap hardware from. I’ll go to ARP for rotating assembly hardware and head bolts or studs but that’s about it.
So did you call TTI? as have been said,should be included in the box,with gaskets,stickers,destructionsmanual and reducers/collectorextensions .
They probably make them for the most popular application wish is headers with much thinner flanges.
Its not realy that strange,its pretty common with companys that produce things.
Its hard to make a profit on limited runs of a product,much better to work with catalog items/sets and thru dealers compared to dealing direct with customers who take a whole lot of time to help per sold item compared to selling say 1000 items to one single customer in one single order and the most common way to deal with this is to offer customers to order their specials if they want to but then it will cost bigtime and that keeps those small batches very limited,
For what its worth,you may find something already available in their catalog that fits your desired use but in a different secion (most certainly for something chevy) and it does not even need to be valvecoverstuds,could possibly even be oilpan studs that comes in a package and fits your application.
Laugh all you want but i doubt you are anywhere close to the succes of the people at ARP.
