header headaches

hey everyone, my camaro is pissing me off lately. im having trouble with my edelbrock TES headers on my 5.7 TPI. the freaking right side header keeps vibrating lose and blowing gaskets. of course thats like the impossible side to change the gasket on. the left is fine. any tips on making this job easier or getting to those damn header bolts easier.

I bought some allen head bolts to use on mine. I had 4 loosen up on me, so those are the ones I replaced. If they loosen up again I'm gonna try and find some of those exhaust bolts that are kinds like rocker nuts - tighten them down and then small stud screws into the middle of them to expand them and tighten them up some more. Not sure who makes them, might be ARP.
