It's very common for the bolt's to rattle loose. It happened all the time on my old bottom mount manifold. But since I have switched to my topmount manifold it hasn't been an issue.

happened to me lastyear. Busted my gasket apart in the process. Safety wire works very well, but it's a pain in the *** if you try and do it in the car. another way is to tack a nut on the manifold.

copper locking nuts work fine for me... also try stacking another nut on the nut thats already on, it works great.
