Stripped oil jet threads? Please HELP!!!
Ok so my builder put together the block without the oil jets installed....so tonight I went to try and install them while the motor is on a engine stand and I was on my back under the motor. I got 2 in ok, but the other two I thought were threading and I went in the first few (maybe 3-4 threads) and then felt it getting tight too fast.
I backed out the bolts and the threads were definately cross threading...now I have NO idea what to do. I can't believe a experienced builder wouldn't have thought of this. What can I do? I might try a thread chaser but I am not sure this is going to work at this point. What happens if no oil jets are there and the hole is left wide open?

the bolt itself looks ok....I don't think you can re-tap these....they are a special kind of bolt for these oil jets.
