Tranny Mount Bolt holes Stripped!!
Just swapped in a d16z6 into my EG hatch and my motor almost fell out!!! the Passanger side motor mount popped off because the holes are stipped completely!!
should i re-tap the holes, tap bigger holes and get bigger bolts, jb weld the bolts in, try to weld them in secure, etc.???? Any other suggestions????
or should i ripp the swap out and get my 4 bucks back???!?!?!? lol
P.S. when i finally got it started for a quick moment i noticed a slight noice that my buddy said was the flywheel but to me it sounds like a tapp or knock!!

Re-tap them with a HELI-coil kit of the proper thread size. I had to rethread one on the timing belt side not too long ago.

Re: Tranny Mount Bolt holes Stripped!!
you can tap it to the same size it is originally, I did it for a hole where the tranny bolts to the motor. Unless its already been drilled in which case you will need a bigger tap and corresponding bolt. Not a big deal except for the fact that taps are way too expensive lol. Not familiar with the Heli coil thing so that might work for you too.

Re: Tranny Mount Bolt holes Stripped!!
Yes, like all these other guys said. It is important to re-tap the bolt holes to the correct dimension.
But under no circumstance should you use JBWELD to hold your motor to the chassis. That would be insanely dangerous! I know you said the motor was blown...but in the future just keep in mind that when it comes to safety JBWELD is not the answer.

Re: Tranny Mount Bolt holes Stripped!!
i currently have the same problem in my ef with a b16a swap. the hole on the inside stripped while the the outside one broke right off. is it better to put a helicoil in the stripped one or drill it out to a bigger size and weld the outside one? help plz!
