I don't think. I had the actual cylinder head off replacing the head gasket and when I was putting it back on I stripped one out. You're talking about the header pipes right??

I would fit a helicoil and then you can use the original bolt

I know a dirtbike will... if all of them arent torqued uniform to spec all the way around itll **** your **** up

I would fix it before taking chances personally, new heads would be no fun

headers on the other hand arent a big deal
