lol there is more than one word there my friend

as far as the problem goes....your probably going to have to pull the head and retap the holes...or use a heli coil.

If your able to drill out the two bad holes tap them and then heli coil it then you wont have to pull the head. With a right angle drill you may be able to get in there.
