you can helicoil it or just tap it with the bigger american size and then drill the mount out a little bit to accept the bigger bolt.

Do it before you start driving.

Yah don't drive an make it worse .. Happened to a friend of mine .. Either tap an re thread or tap an use steel sleeve don't "heli"coil b/c there not as strong as taping an using steel sleeves

I work at a machine shop

i took one of the bolts out from the driver side mount bracket today on a b16 motor and noticed the threads in the block are stripped....if i have the two other bolts in will i be good driving the car everyday until i can get it to the machine shop? Need opinions thanks


in the mean time im most likely gonna thro the torque mount back on also just to b safe

also if someone would know what size helicoil or w.e i need to buy thanks

there no need to go to a machine shop... First find the thread size and bolt size then go to ur local hardware shop and buy a taper it 10.00 most or less way cheaper then going to a shop... All u need is a drill some lub and the tap.. All the tap does is re thread ur hole make it a good as new

U can find the tap that will just simply re thread it and keep the same bolt.. Trust me i work in a machine shop and deal with taping and striped thread if u want me to do it i can for free it will take 2 min if that

[spoon_EK]

Ya but wat if i dnt want to tap it how would i got bouts putting in a timesert

i have the exact same problem right now except with the left bolt. ive been driving around for 3 weeks now fine with torque mounts in too. its in there but only by a few threads, it gets barley tight then loose again. so i think the best thing is to just re tap it like dccrew said, its deff the easiest fuck helicoils and shit.
