This week after an install of my aluminum intake. I tried to torque the nuts to spec and found one of my stub on the intake was stripped. The other 3 are torqued to spec and now I am pissed . What can I do to fix this? I think it is only stripped about 1/4 of the top of the hole. can I get a longer stud and try to screw it in or do I just drill it out and us a heatacoil(sp)? Any in put would be great.
