    Idk if this helps but you can get Grade-8 bolts for the headers at Ace hardware. They worked great for mine. Also make sure you use Metal gaskets instead of those paper ones.

    I did the same thing for all four bolts. No more breaking them, and if they do break then I'll just use the spares I got.

    Been there done that. If half of the shaft is still in tack a Plumber's torch, lots of penetrating oil, and a good pair of vise grips is the answer. If not then lots of drilling, blood, sweat, and tears works too
