Ok, the replacing the 02 sensor job has gone south. So now I'll be dropping the exhaust y-pipe. should I be concerned about possibly stripping out the threads in the bolt hole. The driver's side exhaust manifold bolts have never been taken out since the car was built.
I'm hoping someone with experience will tell me they never strip out, but I'm worried about 17 years of heat on them.
Thanks, I need to get this done this week.
