Frequently Asked Questions

Q: Why should I use drilled header bolts instead of standard hardware?

A: Drilled header bolts are designed for high-vibration racing environments. The oil-drilling feature allows for self-lubrication, which prevents the bolts from seizing or "welding" themselves to the cylinder head due to extreme heat, making removal much easier after a race weekend.

Q: Are these bolts compatible with all flathead kart engines?

A: These are 1/4x20 threaded bolts, which is the standard size for most common flathead kart engine exhaust ports. Please verify your specific engine's thread pitch before installation to ensure a perfect fit.

Q: Do I need to use a thread locker with these bolts?

A: While these bolts are designed to maintain solid clamping force, many racers choose to use a high-temperature anti-seize compound on the threads to further assist in easy removal during future maintenance.

Q: How do these bolts help with engine performance?

A: By ensuring uniform clamping pressure, these bolts help maintain a perfect seal between the header flange and the engine block. This prevents power-robbing exhaust leaks that can negatively impact your kart's performance and throttle response.
