I have a stripped bolt hole in my block. I am in the process of changing the timming cover only to find out the furthest hole to the right which goes in to the water passage over by the fuel pump block off is stripped. Can I uses a Helicoil and if I can does anyone have a smart idea how to break off the end without loosing it in to the motor? Also what would you put on the outside diameter of the helicoil threads.ie red loctite, thread sealer or something else?
Thanks

J.B Weld, needle nose pliers. After J.B. Weld hardens, break off tab with needle nose pliers, chase threads with a tap. Good to go!
