Story:
My coolant aux pump exploded so i decided to replace it.. i took off my intake manifold and re tightened the bolts, without torqueing (big mistake). After that I have had really bad misfires and stumbling rpms..
I ordered new gaskets and I was replacing them tonight. After trying to tighten the bolt it wouldnt tighten.. i look at the hole and notice the it is stripped with scraps of metal around it..

Thats the price I pay for rushing..

please if anyone could help me.. it would be very much appericated..

Do you think I can tap and die it out. Do i use a sleeve ?

What size do i need ? Thank you so much.

I used to be able to get help from people on AW and they would be so helpful and nice.

Now noone even looks at posts if there not a picture, performance part info, or race info.

And i try to contribute back with the research i have read and the knowledge I have gained.

doing a repair. Won't hurt to ask. He's damn near done everything on that Avant.
