none of those work too well, due to the amount of expansion/ contraction from the massive heat.

the g lock tabs arent effected by this.

just take off the heat shields and go over all of the bolts. I added spring washers to mine and they seem to be working ok so far...

the only issue you will come up against is tightening the flange bolt next to the actuator.. does anyone have and advice on how to get to this bolt?

If you go to the hassle of tightening the exhaust manifold bolts, it maybe worth replacing them with studs as these are less prone to coming loose. Don't overtighten as the high tensile bolt will quickly strip the soft alloy head thread.

Can confirm. I have done this on two bolts. FML 🙂🔫
