Quietening Locking Bolts

[bozodos]

Ok so I've got some Stage 8 locking header bolts installed (on an LS motor but generic problem)

Thing is the blasted things have circlips (to lock the locking tabs) which rattle and make a noise pretty much the exact same as pinging so I want them to be quiet. I'd thought of superglue, but I would think that would just burn off due to the high temps at the engine.

Anyone had similiar issues that they fixed, or did everyone not be tight arses and just use studs in these sorts of applications?

what about filling the gap by wrapping some very thin copper wire around it???????????

[bozodos]

I had that exact thought as I was driving into town before actually, I'll try it out!

ohh like the black exhaust gasket goo? Also a good idea that I had not thought of!
