Head bolt hole in blocks thread size? One of my buddies ripped the thread out of the block by accident and needs to know what the size is so he can helicoil it, any help is appreciated, thanks!

also i doubt a helicoil will hold that much tq. i don't know how you would get it in but i could make you a peice of tool steel with the right thread I/d and with what ever O/D thread you want.
