Default ohh crap!!!!!!!!

the threads in my block are stripped to ****... its the threads that the bolt goes in to adjust my timing belt tensioner.... yeah im pretty clueless of what to do... ive been searching and i hear people talk about helicoil and timsert's and what not... but i also did notice that you would probably need a lot of room to do that... and space is very limited unless i pull out the motor.... ahhhhh any help would be really appriciated... cause this really sucks a big left nut

this is a tough one. Possibly try a floor jack under the block. Detach the drivers side engine mount and raise the engine ever so slightly until you can access timing belt tensioner bolt hole. Otherwise you may have to remove the block.
Only other thing I can think of is using a hole saw.... forget it,

timesert kit is going to be your best bet. i have one i'm using on a motor mount and it has held up over a year now.. they are very strong.

i would try a jack under the motor remove the driver side mount and see how much room you can get. you can jack the motor up a bit, but you may just want to pull it to get the proper room you need.

bad situation. hope you get it fixed quickly

I have feelings on your side. That same thing broke my racing camshaft and cylinder head. Becouse previous owner tighted the bolt too much, and i didint notice it before it destroyed my engine...

Builded with stock components and cylinder head. So i am waiting for my B18C... Ahhh....
