How do you fix a stripped head bolt hole?
I have an ls vtec set up with one stripped bolt hole for the head bolt. How do I go about fixing it? Any advice would help. Thanks.

the hard part is the hole is so deep, so there's really no way of getting that bottom piece of the heli-coil out.

Re: (Brent L)
The new problem is that so much of the thread is stripped that the hole is bigger than the drill bit for the tap and die to bring it back to stock threading. The only other route would be to make the hole bigger which would cause problems because of the head gasket. Anyone else know any other solutions?
