Default block re-thread

ls-vtec in 92 civic hatch, the block is a 1994 B18B1 with 98 GSR head... the GSR head studs stripped the block in one of the stud holes, and we bought ARP head studs, they all tightened down properly except for one, the one the was stipped so now it has to be rethreaded to 12x1.25mm since re-threading it to 11mm would be pointless, what stud can i use to tighten that one down cuz stock or arp's won't work cuz they are 11x1.25mm......if anyone understands what i am trying to do and say please help if u can..... thank u....

A better option would be getting timeserts or big-serts for the block. It's like heli-coiling but way stronger. Just my opinion. Retapping the block for 12mm wouldn't be any stronger than it was before. I don't know where to find oversized studs but after tapping and getting those studs you'll probably spend more than what it would cost for the inserts and be weaker.
