So my 80/66 china girl now has a stripped head stud in the lower block. This occurred by slight over torquing the steel bolt on the nice soft aluminum block. I seek help on how to efficiently repair the threads. This is the rear right stud which now spins freely. I have lost almost all compression with severe squeal coming from head cover so she is garaged. I have limited tools but love to shop for them. I heard helicoil is most effective or just drill tap to next larger sized. Is it a 6mm now and go 8mm. Any valid suggestions will help along with how to disasemble engine for the repair, I am a newbie and wish not destroy an engine with 50 miles on it that is a 40+mph engine with my arrow torquer II exhaust.
