Header Install - Camaro5 Chevy Camaro Forum / Camaro ZL1, SS and V6 Forums

In the process of changing out to headers and I am wondering if I should run a clean out tap through the bolt holes. The bolts came out nice and easy so I do not think they need them but curious if I should or not.
Thank you
Rob

I would it only takes a few minutes an could stop frustration in the future plus I would use a good high temp anti seize compound as well.

Thanks guys ordered the thread clean out taps tonight.
Was already planning on using high temp antiseize. I have the gold glue sticks already.
