Just get a new block lol can probably be had for 2-300$....why are you even running it knowing 2 head bolts are loose/stripped

kalvincmcnett

was not know till today and have not ran it since took off head to replace the gasket and found 2 of the bolts are striped

B_Swapped93

you can try re taping/threading the holes but personaly if I had a d-series I'd just go get a new block and swap it in imo it's easier in the long run.

kalvincmcnett

idk if holes are striped just the top half of the bold was flat and bottem looked normal and it just keeps spinning sorry im pretty knew to this car and dont want to have to pull the engine just to fix it.... u know what i mean?

pic of bolt(s) ? if it just keeps turning and turning there's a good change the threads in the hold are stripped. stripped head bolts a major pain regardless.

kalvincmcnett

yeah it keeps turning and turning and sorry dont have camera phone or camera in general to take picture with i will try to find a picture on the internet just like it tho

in reality the easiest option is to re-thread the holes I've never done it or tired so i can't say how easy or hard it is but would more then likely be a under 80$ repair tools and such included. 2nd option is find another d15 block and swap the blocks and get new bolts all around in fact I recommend that regardless which one you do. on the bolt try picking at the threads if you get shavings coming off those are the threads that were in your block and you're going to need to do one of the 2 options. you'd be extremely lucky if some how only the threads on the bolt got damaged. Sorry that's just the truth of it not trying to scare you

kalvincmcnett

yeah i got one in front of me and their is shavings on it the engine was rebuilt 5k miles ago so i might just see if i can re thread it

B_Swapped93

you did use a torque wrench when tightening them right ? and did it in the 3 steps. Same with undoing them except it's no more then a half turn on first "brake".

kalvincmcnett

yeah i think im just going to go buy a tap set and re thread it just bump it up a size from a 10 to a 11
