I think the thread size in this case would be heat resistent gorilla glue.

Apparently you haven't witnessed the power of Gorilla Glue!

I'm going to buy a tap set in a few min.

I Disagree. The headers fit great. I didn't have to unbolt my steering knuckle or grind down my block tab. I'm guessing since your new you haven't seen the thread with the O2 Bungs on the wrong side on a set of Pacesetters?

Alright, Apparently there isn't enough room for the tap to work... (Tranny pan is in the way). I'm either...
A. JB welding the O2 on...
B. Drop the tranny pan to "maybe" be able to put more pressure on the tap..
C. Blowing up my car.

Anything wrong with JB Welding a O2 on? It's a new sensor so im not worried about it failing anytime soon.

Can't you unbolt the header and move it sideways to get more clearance to tap the bung...?

Use a crescent wrench on the tap instead of the T-handle tap driver.
