BTDT. I have a few blue flame special wrenchs from my days as a mechanic. This one was around 1973, I was working a summer job at a foreign car repair shop. He had a lot of high end clients and many Jag customers. I modified this one for the XKE V12 exhaust manifolds bolts.Thought ---
Find someone // auto repair shop with a torch willing to help.
Go to Autoparts or Hardware store and get the appropriate size needed,
Take the wrench to the auto repair, and have it bent to what you need??
May cost $20 all together but you have what you need for any future odd bolt issues???

That will be the last bolt to come out as the header moves away from the block. It will also be the first bolt you start when putting the header back on.
Never had to mod any of my wrenches, but several of the guys I worked with did. Sometimes ya do what ya gotta do.BTDT. I have a few blue flame special wrenchs from my days as a mechanic.
