I messed up one of the bolt holes for the head. NEED SOME HELP so I wercked some of the threads in one hole that holds the head on & now it won't grab when I go 2 tighten the head. what's my options?
drill it out & put a heli coil in it
get a longer bolt or get a shorter bolt?
need some help like yesterday. thanks in advance

well I just found out this is no standard metric bolt its in between a 10 & 12mm so don't think a heli coil will help & a shorter bolt isn't going 2 work at all so hopefully GM makes a longer one. does any one know if they do

russ that's awsome except one thing ls1 head bolts have a 2.0 pitch not a 1.5 pitch like the ones one ebay.
anyway I went to the gm dealership & holy crap they let me take the tooling home & I owe the $20.00 to use it. I can't believe that . so its all done now hopefully it works lol
