Striped bolt in manifold

[FreeBeeTony]

While troubleshooting a possible leak problem, I decided to check the riser/manifold bolts. think I stripped one.
Can I use a helicoil? Never used one.......not sure how to install.

I would think that you can . . . Google helix coil installation . . . pretty straight foward. Drill, tap, thread in

Get the kit with drill bit, tap, loc-tite, installation tool and 4 inserts.

Anyone know what size bolt and thread size?
I haven't removed the bolt yet.
Kinda hoping I can get away with a longer bolt.....

Ayuh,..... 3/8"/ 16,..... You can borrow my heli-coil kit, but ya gotta come get it,.....

'n bring it back,........

If it's a pocket hole, be careful goin' with a longer bolt,....
If a thru-hole, there might be enough left to hold 35ft.lbs,....

As always...........more good advice from Bondo.
