The head is stripped where I want to bolt the cam tower down.

I have all the other bolts in and this one is stripped and had been leaking oil before.

What is the best way to fix this?

Is there a way to do it without taking everything off again?

Helicoil? Tap it bigger? Fill with jbweld then tap?

Thanks in advance...

one of mine did that, i filled the hole with loctight and installed a longer bolt, there are a few extra turns that the standard bolt doesn't reach, do not torque it fully.

how long of a bolt did you use? and what did you value did you torque it to? did you use loctite red, green, blue? and how has it held up?

thanks!

I just went to NAPA and got the next size longer bolt, maybe 1cm longer.

I put it in and it tightened right up. Then took it out and added locktite blue and torqued down to around 14lbs.

Thanks for the tip!
