Discovery 3.9 exhaust bolts loose

Post by oilyfingers »

A couple of months back my offside manifold started to blow, so i bought the gaskets to do the job. Upon starting i found two bolts missing & the remaining bolts loose, so bought some replacement bolts.
Well, recently i experienced the same blowing only to find all the bolts were loose again. All were torqued up on original rebuild. Question is can i use stud retainer in these extreme heats?
