Hello everyone,
1.) so I just tbought this 02 viper and the power valves are missing 1 screw on 2 of the power valves and 2 screw heads are stripped so i tried to drill them anyone have any ideas how to get these out.
2.) after i hopefully get all of these out and clean them do I need to ajust them if so how do i do so?
Thanks

Is it the PV housing that has the bolts stripped or is it the cylinder jug?

Yes I would take them apart clean and inspect, then set up. Plenty of threads here how to do it and tons of knowledge, I was nervous first time I did mine.
 
Ok so it is the bolts on the cylinder jug which is picture one correct? I would post a picutre but i cannot get it to work.

you can try vise grips or what i've done in the past is used a dremel tool and put alittle slit in the head and used a flat head to get them out. just be careful that the only thing you cut is the bolt

If you can get an easy out in there it may help, not sure how far you drilled the head of bolt in though. I snapped the bolt off in the jug on mine it wasn't fun.

This works well. Cut the slit 1/2 way through the head and just barely the thickness of the straight slot screwdriver you will be using. Roughly a 1/16" thick slot. The screwdriver you need to be using should be at least as wide as the bolt head.
Allen head bolts are a good replacement for any bolt that would benefit from a positive grip head. A stripped head is pretty much a thing of the past.
The proper type of anti-seize is beneficial too. There are 1/2 a dozen(ish) different types of anti-seize dependent on the metal your securing. The nickel formula has the highest temperature rating for ferrous metals.

Thanks for all of the help guys. Eventually got all of the screws out with a screw extractor but one power valbe looks damadged. Based off of these pictures what do you think? its the pro power valve.
