Stripped head bolt stud
Just broke the threads in my B20 block in the new all motor setup on the last 72 lb torque spec. while putting the head on with the golden eagle headbolt kit. I wanted to cry but am getting over it. Need to know what's better time serts or helicoil kit. Looking at either and which is easier to do myself. Any help is appreciated.

time sert is best. But i believe heli-coils are what is going to be able to get down that far in there jim. Take it to a machine shop.

Well, maybe Dameon will ship it to him, lol
Dameon sent a block to be sleeved be GE last year, a diff. block came back with two f'd up threads in the block, so he had to buy, I believe, I time sert set. Anyway, he spent a shit load of money for this thing and he wants to use it as much as possible.
