ok so i bought a jdm b20 and had it built.......so now im having it installed and the shop calls me and tells me that the 2 of the 3 bolts for the intermediate shaft are stripped....is there anyway possible to fix this!!! can it be drilled and taped?? i really dnt wna have to go fishing for a new block.....and i need this ASAP!!!

 

helicoils or time inserts are your best bet!should work perfect!

 

x2, find the proper helicoil with the correct inner thread for your bolt, then drill out the stripped hole and tap it for the outer threat of the helicoil you should be able to do this if the tap goes down into the hole far enough

 

where do i get helicoils from....i heard of these but never new where to get them from

 

autozone definitely has them, I'n not sure how big of a selection they have but you can probably find them elsewhere, i'd just call places like lowes or home depot, napa etc.
