Re: threaded holes in my new headers?
some headers had connections for a gas analyzer.
The thread should be a R1/8 (conical).
The old plugs were #000047113 (now 78010091A). Not sure if #78010071A is the same.

Re: threaded holes in my new headers?
got the washers, too? Applying some anti-seize is recommended.

Re: threaded holes in my new headers?
that should be ok, too. It should just be a washer that also can seal.

Re: threaded holes in my new headers?
you want that bolt to sit airtight so you use a washer made out of a softer material than steel
