Stripped Treads On Block
Hey First Of I Hope Everyone Is Having A Great Time..now For My Question.. One Of The Studs That Holds The Exhaust Manifold To The Block Is Stripped. Not The Stud Itself But The Threads Inside The Block.. Now My Ride Sound Like A Lawnmower... How Can I Fix This .. All I Can Think Of Is To Retap The Threads In The Block.. Any Ideas..'95 Integra

I doubt a machine shop will be able to melt some metal and retap it. The only thing you can do is go a size bigger and drill through the manifold to make the hole bigger. If you can tap the hole one size bigger and get a stud that on one side is the bigger size and the one sticking out the regular factory size so it will go through the manifold.
