Exhaust head pipe leak...

[NMills]

Hello all... I have a issue that i thought i fixed.. but some to find out.. did not.. i changed out my exhaust on my 04 400ex... did the gaskets and eveything... and tonight i noticed that the head pipes are not making a complete seal to the engine... one of the problems may be that i can not tighten the bolts due to rust and dirt... and that the metal plates that slide on the pipes are bent(they were used before)....

What are the part numbers for the head pipe bolts??
I'm gonna take the pipes off and put them in a vise to straigten the metal plates... does any one have any other suggestions to remedy my problem???

Thanks..
