if the bolts are long use washers to take the space left on the bolt.

Ok it's been over 3 months and my holocaustic option way of fixing my stripped out Exhaust bolt is still holding with a strange side note. I actually used a steel 1" self tapping screw (see the pic) and was able to snug up the gasket just like its suppose to. This is not the fix I was looking for and was only supposed to be a temporary fix, but its been over 3 months and the scoots running quite, so I have just left it alone. There is one weird side effect of my "option"...if I ride for a fair distance, say 5-10 miles, enuf to get the engine up to temp, when I park I get a smell of something burning...I'm pretty sure it's one of the 2 gaskets I got in there, either the little round one that I pushed up into the recessed groove or the full sized one that covers the hole flange including the bolt holes. It's not a real bad smell but I'm sure eventually it will burn out one of the gaskets and then it will be loud again and I will have to come up with a way to rethread the head.
well , why can't I insert a picture /

I did strip out my head once. I retapped with a 1/4-20 bolt and it worked just fine.

The head can be removed from the scooter
It only four bolts more than a valve job
And no need to pull the motor
