Default Stripped Thread Valve Cover 2003 civic lx

Hello!

When I did my valve clearance and one of the threads got stripped on my valve cover. It has been leaking oil and I hope there is no other damage. I am getting ready to get a helicoil to rethread it but I need to know what size to use.Thank you.

If it's the valve cover thread that stripped, u can just get a cover from the junk yard men. .much easier.

The valve cover itself is fine, the stripped part is in the valve head. I wish it was the valve cover, lol
