BECAUSE I HAVE PUT 3 DIFFERENT HEADS ON MY 93 TEG I BELIEVE I HAVE STRIPPED THE THREADS OUT OF MY BLOCK. HOW CAN I FIX THIS? I HAVE BEEN TOLD I CAN USE PRELUDE HEADBOLTS AND RETHREAD THE BLOCK, IS THIS TRUE? WHAT ELSE CAN I DO?

 

Turn off caps.
You might be able to use the lude headbolts, but cut them to length. Talk to a few shops and see what their solution it. Other than that, Id say that toy could re-tap with a larger bolt, but im not sure as to how to fit it through the head. maybe welding and re-taping is in order, or even a new block. You can get bare blocks for short money depending on what you are looking for, and its a good excuse for a build up.

 

I believe you can use helicoils or timeserts to fix your block. People as well as machine shops tend to perfer/recommend timeserts.

 

Your best bet is to take it to a machine shop and have them deal with it.

 

try to tap it or use helicoils. also when u do fix it, invest in a set of ARP head studs so u wont have this problem again

 

timeserts is the best way to fix it helicoil only last so long

 

Helicoils may not be the best way to go...if they go in there is the slight possibility they'll come out. As the others said check with a machine shop...dont forget about the huge heat that builds up in a block when the engine is running. You may get away with just tapping the thread to a different guage and buying custom made head bolts
