Stripped the thread on the rear driver's side.

The threads have been going for a while. I think theres maybe 2-3 working threads left in it. I still hear a small exhaust tick, but nothing crazy. I don't want to crank it down anymore so I put some locktite in there and sealed it up for good. I'm rebuilding another set of heads to put on the car and I'm going to switch them out when I get the chance. Do you guys think that the bolt and leak could wait 3 weeks?

definately, might get a little worse, but no reason you shouldn't be able to make it last for a few weeks

Yeah. The locktite was sort of a last stand. I'm sort of hoping it works. I just wanted some feed back on it.
