    Ive got a hole that the threads are striped, one of the holes under my valve cover [ valve cover bolt hole ]. Any ideas on a fix? Thanks for any help.

    put in a Heli coil if it is in your skill set or have a machine shop do it.

    you drill out the hole tap it and install the Heli coil, kits are available comes with the drill, tap, tool, and coils

    Total junk. You can do a decent job on cosmetic repairs (with enough practice), but not on anything that has to hold a fastener.
    Use a Helicoil. That will make a permanant, reliable repair.

    I'm surprised it took four replies before someone mentioned the obvious ...

    In Canada we toss loonies at the strippers like a wishing well.

    I was struggling to resist cuz it wasn't in hangout lounge.
    For the record, I'll help anyone with their stripper problems. Any time. Any where.
    You won't get quality services that way. See, I helped with a stripper problem Paul didn't even know he had!

    Be careful. If you pay them too much, they might follow you home....
