We have a local machine shop that stocks high performance parts, so I'd say getting new heads from a machine shop is possible. Weird situation though.

Contact them first. I dont see why just using a bigger bolt would cause any problems though.

Because the headers have very little space for the small ones that are there now. and the head of a larger bolt may not fit.

They can fill the hole, drill and re thread it to the proper diameter.

ok guys 50 stanger u were right! it doesnt look like it but there is heli coils in the holes. they are there to prevent from stripping the head. the guy at the machine shop said that he would come over and put the missing one in for me. i asked why it would be missing and he said that he dont know why but all is good thanks guys.
