After torquing down my arp head studs today one of them stripped the threads in my block. Anyone know how hard and how well a helicoil will work to fix this? Is there any other way besides a helicoil or getting a new block to fix it?

 

I just did some more research on this and found a site called timeserts. Anyone know what size i need to buy for a z6 block?

 

you can retap the block with a tool from sears.

i forget what size you need. just find out the thred size and go get a tapping tool.

i use it all the time. works great. it's like 15 bucks

platinum.
