Head bolt theads in block
whats up , so a few questions, i took a engine building class, and i built a ls bottem end up as being taught how to build a engine, while doin so ran a tap down the head bolt threads (in block) to clean out glassbead but i f**ked up and ran a 12mm 1.5 tap down when its suposed to be an 11mm, so machine shop incested it would be fine to ran that same tap down all holes and just get custome headstuds, i kinda questioned it as not being strong enough but i figures they do these all the time so... i did, since i have changed building this engine i have changed minds and wanna boost, then i thought will the studs hold with boost? anyone ever run into this? i dont wanna get a new block have to much money into this one, ive heard of timeserts? i havnt run this engine yet
