When I got my Warrior, the bolts that hold the exhaust to the head were gone and the header was held on with a hanger. When I got it, I put bolts in it and they vibrated out two times. So last night I stood it up on the grab bar to look at the holes, and noticed that one was rounded out(easy fix), and I noticed the other one just had a short hole, not even a half-inch deep. Would it hurt something important, such as piston, valves ect., if I drilled the hole a little deeper?(it's the higher one) thanks in advance.

I wouldn't drill any deeper. Maybe the threads in the head are stripped. You could possibly JB Weld the studs to the head cause you neeeevvvveeeeerrrr need to take the studs out. I think I told you a lie a while back about the Warrior not having an exhaust gasket. There actually is one that is about 3/8" thick. Mine had been in there so long it looked like part of the head.

 

Thanks raptor450, I'll try that, the gasket was lost when the studs came out.

 

IF THEY ARE STRIPPED YOU CAN USE A HELICOIL
