i stripped a bolt in my block i had to drill it out and put a helicoil in my motor it worked great you can try to fix it with that if you dont want to pay for the mechine shop

 

Ehh, I already dropped the block off. We'll see what happens, although I'm making a deal with a guy tomorrow...I'm wiring up his 3 bar gm map sensor, installing his 650cc injectors and chipping his ecu with Crome in trade for a b18b1 bottom end minus the rods and pistons.

 

if we ever get together i will give you that b18b bottom end i have if i dont take the rods for my green ek first..
