stripped bolt hole
well in the process of putting headers on my car i stripped the middle bolt hole into the head. this is due to the fact im trying to do this by my self and didnt have the bolt straight when i went to tighten it up. i took it out and blew out the hole however the bolt threads were flattened. i tried a different bolt however it done the same thing. any ideas?

With a tap. no i dont have one. one set of tool i really need to invest in i guess. never had this problem before. Will it hurt it to keep tightening?

Dont tighten it down buddie.
I did the same thing and the damn bolt just wouldnt go in. I got fed up of scewing in and out so many times I decided to just tighten it down. Long story short...my under $500 full exhaust plan ended up costing me more like 2k. Had to take the car to a shop to get the bolt out. Nightmare city
