i did a check on my plenum bolts today, making sure they havne't loosened over time. There was this one bolt in the top left corner. It seems that it's stripped. This sucks. Before i try to mess with it (so fragile), anyone know how to fix the problem properly? Not sure where to find these bolts as well. I guess the only way is getting a thicker bolt? i just dont' want to crack anything.

Remove the bolt. Try to retap the hole if you can. This works sometimes.

If the threads are gone, drill out the threads and re-tap the hole. You will need the right sized drill and tap.

 

get a heli coil kit just drill it out straight very important that its straight all it doesnt come with is the drill bit it will be easy on a plenum. just go slow and careful.

 

ok, cool, thanks guys. I'll get a heli coil kit tomorrow. I was going ot pick one up from the snap on guy last month but thought i would never use it.

 

is that a tap kit? or is it a heli coil kit you usually have to get those from napa or auto zone. The heli coil kit you need is 6x1.00.

 

It's a heli coil kit. A tap kit is different. Thanks for being precise for what i need. Big help.
