HELP Headers, exhuast problem
hi all,
i am hearing a small air leak and when i checked it.
i found that there is a small leak betwean the headers and mid-pipe.
the cause of it is one bolt that should go into one of the wholes in the headers is not tightened. because the whole rotaion (lines) are some how a bit damaged.
is there a way other than welding to make the bolt in and tightened without loosing after a while ?
any material can be used ? such as for water we use the white water tape.
or is there a way to fill the whole and tight the bolt so that we make a new shape fit with the bolt ?
thanks all.

same thing happened to me -- it was a real pain because I had to take that header off and have it rethreaded --- only takes a few minutes with the right tap & die kit..

mmmmm i was thinking.
wht about tight it with the bolt.
and then weld it by lines, not full welding a cros the circle
will it affect or damage something ?
