Did that tonight and still nothing.
The bolts are lubed up with Anit Seize also.
I am not going to force them anymore because i really dont want them to break.
So whats everyones opinions on cutting 2/8" off of them and then rethreading the ends?

I think you mean a 1/4".. But just buy new header bolts. No reason to skimp on something like bolts when your putting in QTP's..
