Well I was installing my new oil pan today and I was taking the bolts out of the downpipe where it connects to the header, one of the bolts broke off in the nut. Now my question is do I need a new header, or can this be fixed. When looking on www.hondaautomotiveparts.com it shows the header with those 2 nuts being part of the header. I think I need another one but am not sure. Let me know.

No bolts are part of the header. One in the middle bottom is only to hold the heat shield on and doesn't screw into the block. Then there are the top bolts and nuts, and two spring bolts on the bottom.

thing is those nuts I think are part of the OEM header. Or am I wrong. Can You buy the 2 nuts seperatly. Because once you take out the bolt and spring, the 2 nuts on top stay on the header. The bolt broke off in the nut on top of the header.

Not bolts, the 2 nuts on top of the header that hold the 2 bolts from the downpipe.

Look at number 1 which is the exhaust manifold ( header ) look at the bottom where it meets the downpipe, see the nut on there. That is the nut the bolt broke off in. I think it is part of the header.

Wow that piece broke off? Then yes you need a new header.
