The rivets in the heat mainifold shield are a bitch.  They have a real streep taper some will come right out, but others!!.  I used a chisel and hammer,. then hit them at a angle.  you could just grind/drill them off
and retap for standard treads if all else fails.  They will come out with finesse.
good luck
