I did it today.

I beat the header bolts!!

Last time I could only back out one bolt, today I used a different combo of tools and got all of them out, but I figured out why the gasket blew out. The top bolt on header tube #6 is stripped. I got it in there snug, but snug isn't going to work. Should be pretty easy to retap and get another bolt in there.

I never retaped a bolt hole before. Just buy a kit, screw in the tap, screw out the tap, and put in a new bolt?
