Repairing stripped head threads
I goofed this morning and stripped a head thread on our 223….Dang, I've had quite a bit of bad luck on the engine part of this project.
I'm reaching out to get advice on repairing this. For background on this engine, read my last post https://www.ford-trucks.com/forums/1...-question.html .
I think I may have crossed threaded the bolt with the hole threads, and when torquing the bolt, the threads in the block failed.
I am wondering if it might be best to drill and tap this one hole for the 1/2" thread size, though the others will be 7/16".
Thanks
