I've over torqued and stripped one of the 4 holes that bolts go in to secure the TB to the intake on my 96.
Helicoil kit is too expensive, so I was going to drill out from 6 to 7mm and retap it to 8mm. My wrists both have pins in them though and I have trouble holding anything straight under pressure,especially a tap on a one shot only intake.
My idea is to use some threaded 6mm rod with red loctite or jb weld and screw it in to the intake hole. Let it set up, then use a NUT to tightn that corner down from now on instead of going to a bigger size. Basically I'd turn the hol into a stud instead.
WOULD THAT WORK?
Gotta get to work tonight and pick up kids at school and TB won't go on. Is this a valid fix?
