i pulled the threads in my head due to a faulty torque wrench. a machine shop told me(without looking at it) that i should helicoil it. if i helicoil it... would i have to get bigger head bolts? and if so where can i get some ARP?

94 ex... d16z6 head.d16a block

 

this happened to a b20 i had awhile ago the threads are in the block not the head an i pulled the engine took it to a machine shop an they installed head studs I dunno what all else they did but it cost me like 300

 

yea i know its in the bloc,. i always say head because "head bolts" but u no. the machine shop said helicoil and that i could do it myself. i just need to know uif anyone has helicoiled it and wat al they had to do.

 

it's ur call but id get a second opinion i don't think helicoils are the answer i depending or ur hp goals the won't hold

 

Timesert is the best way to do it

well for right now im just really running it stock. its my daily driver. im not building this one really. if i do. ill prolly get a new block. 140k Miles on this one. so i think im going with helicoils. they seem pretty easy to use.

 

Helicoils work pretty good, if your going to get crazy with it, you may want to take to a machine shop, but dont underestimate helicoils.
