Today i was taking off my procircuit header because it was pinging really bad and i was gonna put the stocker back on to see if it helped. I took the pc off and was putting the stocker back on when one of the bolts just started spinning. All the other ones are fine it is just this one. What should i do? Can they rethread this? I am about to have engine work done on my bike so if they can rethread it then i will have them do it then. thanks for the help.

They should be able to heliocoil it. Sounds like a good excuse to do some headwork. :cool:

A heliocoil is a kinda like a wraped piece of metal. To use one they would drill the hole out the next size bigger tap it and install the heliocoil into where they tap it. And it will allow you to use the stock exhaust stud. If you take it to the machine shop they should know exactly what size they need to use.
Or you could just tap it and run a bolt in there. It might be a little easier but its not exactly hard to install a heliocoil after you tap it anyway.
