The threads just got a little out of whack, you need to find a tap on the internet or something..I'll tell you what, if you cant find one, i'll buy your header..

i would say your going to need to probly get a new header...

1. Can you get the sensor in at all? If you can get it in, just not thread it, try to jb weld around it, that should hold it in no problem at all.

2. This is a strech, but drill out that hole, get a helicoil and try that. (probly wont work)

3. get that bung welded up, and get a new o2 bung welded on somewhere else on the header, or right b4 the cat, on the piping somewhere...

They do have a special tap for o2's....look in the specialty tools section where they hold there pullers and what not...ask the parts counter guy....if they are out see if they can order you one...
