Ok...When I went to install my headers awhile back I noticed the very last bolt (on #8) is stripped out so I have a bad exhaust leak now. Can I tap it or what? Ive never did anything like that so Im not sure what im doing. But I would like to get rid of the annoying leak.

 

You can't just tap it out if it's stripped; there's no metal there to cut new threads into.

Heli-coil it.

 

yep you need a heli coil, or some sort of thread insert. if you've enver tapped a hole before you ought to find someone that has. and the cost of the heli coil kit could very well cover the fee someone else would charge to do it.

 

Ok I'll have to ask around. I thought about getting world heads but I still don't know if I'm going to keep the 305 for awhile or get a crate 350 or what. But I would like to get rid of the annoying ticking.
