[DeTomaso] valve ticking discovered

[Thomas Tornblom]

> Bob, What happens is... the header bolts get loose, then the gasket burns. I use these, and now don't have to tighten the header bolts every month. Stage 8 are good people too!  http://www.ebay.com/itm/STAGE-8-LOCKING-HEADER-BOLTS-390-460-351M-351C-FORD-BIG-/180877261330?hash=item2a1d1ffa12&item=180877261330&pt=Motors_Car_Truck_Parts_Accessories&vxp=mtr
