Stripped HEADBOLT
Stripped HEADBOLT Have my old ladies l83 torn apart due to a leaky head gasket - was seeping coolant out of the rear of the head. Got everything cleaned up and went to reassemble today and #9 bolt just spin and spins. (Guess I know why it was leaking now, I am assuming the head has been off before)
Before I do a time-sert I am going to attempt to throw a stud in and pray it will hold.
This brings me to my question. WHAT SIZE HEAD STUD DO I NEED?
I just want to verify I am ordering the right size and am having a hard time finding exactly the right answer.

I believe the bolt size is m11 x 2.0 ??? (My original question)
I am just wanting to get this thing back together so we can go trade it in on a new Denali
If you just drill it out and stuff a bigger bolt in there it's gonna suck for the next who buys that thing

You don't just heli-coil or time-sert. these blocks. The threads are countersunk into the block. You have to purchase a kit. Time-sert makes the kit for GM that I have and the las kit i bought to do a full LS2 block was from Huhn Solutions. Very good kit but takes some patience and very close attention to keep from making a simple mistake. The Time-sert kit is easier to use and more precise. Either will run you $600-700.
If you were near me in Ky I'd fix it for ya.
Since you're in Fla, I'm sure there quite a few machine shops that could do it. At least a reputable shop should have the provisions to fix an LS or LT block.
