Hi all, just been trying to refit the inlet manifold to the cylinder heads and as you can guess one of the threads in the head has stripped
. I know that the "normal" thing to do is have a helical fitted but has anyone ever tried to tap the hole out maybe to the next size up metric equivalent? I have quickly tried an M8 setscrew in the hole and it won't go in so I suspect that this may be the appropriate size.
If this is not a good plan is it possible to fit helicoils on a DIY basis at home?
Thanks
Paul
