I know you don't won't to hear this but you probably have to take the other 4 out and start with the toughest 2. I ended up stripping the lower rear. And when I went to tap it, my tap wasn't completely straight in. So, the lower rear stud is slightly off. IIRC, I went to the dealership and bought a shorter stud for the lower rear as well. Also iirc, someone else used all shorter studs when they installed their PPE headers. All that being said, I had zero leaks after the install and still have zero leaks.
Good luck with your install. If I've said it once, I've said it a thousand times, PPE header install with the engine in the car is a major PITA.
