I was replacing the passenger side header gasket. The second bolt from the front wont go in. It only goes in 2/3 of way. What do I do now? Should I add washers to it and call it a day? Im at work and need to get home.

 

check and make sure the hole is cleaned out by running the proper tap in..

 

How can I clean the hole? WD40?

 

With a tap, just like skeet already mentioned.

 

Im sorry. Im not sure what that is? Actually I dont know what that is.

 

How does the tap work? Can I get it from Home depot? I stuck in the middle of nowhere.

 

Is the head trash cause of this bolt thing?

 

Ok well I guess Ill get a ride home. Could someone just chime in and explain this please

 

This is a tap



It cleans out threads as well as fixes damaged ones. Make sure you buy the right size or else all you'll do is more damage.
