The bottom bolt of the thermostat housing is stripped in the head. CRAP!!!
It's an '87 with 255000 on the odometer.
What is the best way to fix the problem?:helpme:
Drill the hole and tap new threads?
Drill the hole and use a helicoil insert?
JBWeld a stud in it?
Another solution that I haven't a clue about?
I ask because from looking in through the thermostat hole there doesn't appear to be alot of metal to drill into. I don't want to drill into the water jacket...that would be bad.:scared:
