Hey all, this might sound kind of "newbie-ish" of me, but one of the bolts connecting my thermostat housing to my AL intake manifold is stripped out causing a slow leak of coolant. It is slow enough that I can drive it to work and back home(about 7 miles round trip) I just check the fluid before I leave. I will be taking the manifold off this weekend to fix it. I got my new intake gaskets, and new thermostat housing gasket, but what I know that best way to fix the hole. The way I see it is I could drill and tap to the next largest hole or have a heli-coil installed. I know nothing about heli-coils, just that it is an option. So what are your thoughts? Drill and tap or have a heli-coil installed for me? Thanks for the info!
