I found another foul up from the shop that I had work done at, I was reinstalling my rockers and one of the rocker arm bolts hole on the head was stripped w/ only 20lbs. How do rethread the hole? Do I Have to take the head off? Will I be able to use the same size bolt?

I've tapped both rocker holes in ported and unported heads. If your doing the intake on a ported head just make sure you stuff the port with paper towels and vacuum the shavings out. Use a grease on the drill bit, go slow and it will catch 90% of the aluminum shavings.

Hahaha I am sooo sorry to hear this.
I had to retap the far back rocker thread on my new heads. It was not easy due to the tight space. But tapping it was no problem.
The size is 8 x 1.25 - I got mine from Kragen.
It will work out for you no problem, just a pain in the ***.

yeah some of it will drop. If your intake manifold is off, suck it out with a shop vac or vaccum. I also used a rag wrapped around a screwdriver to get it as clean as possible.
I am not sure weather or not its going to effect anything if some get in there...maybe someone else can chime in on this...
