Hi all,

I was putting my exhaust manifold on my Big Block tonight and one hole is stripped.

So for those of you that have been down this road before... What should I do. Will a helicoil stand up to the temp?

Thanks

A helicoil will work fine.

Yes a helicoil will hold up to the temp and give you a stronger than original thread.
