BC Bronco shorty header install with 2-in-2 exhaust

Cleaning the thread is a good idea, but you should use a rethreading tap and not a regular tap. A regular tap can undercut the threads which would weaken them and make it easier to strip them out. A rethreading tap doesn't cut metal, just cleans existing threads.
