Default oops

i got a problem.....i've been building a all-motor b18c (jdm gsr), i've bored it out and put 81.25 ctr pistons in it, i've got a stock b16 head, blox intake mainfold, hondata intake mani gasket, msd ignition kit, all arp bolts and studs. anyways i bought the block for 500 and it didn't come with oil jets, so i ordered some and went to put them and i let my cousin tighten them and he didn't tighten it all the way so when he turned the crank it hit it and ripped out all the threads ......i took it to a machine shop and they said they don't have the right tools to fix it....so what should i do? the thread pattern is a really really fine thread.

i've got a h22 swap sitting in my garage....should i just put it in?

thanks for the help

i eventually want to go turbo but i got all these parts for free so i was gonna use them til i get my turbo setup ready.

you need to find a machine shop that can fix it.

you made two mistakes here.

1. building a slow *** NA all motor car

2. don't trust a cousin, ever.

It's gotta be some type of really fine thread pitch in metric. You could check out McMaster-Carr and see if they have a tap for that size. Since you ripped the squirter out, you're probably gonna need a new one anyway, so find out what the thread pitch is when you order one, or ask at the dealership. Or you can just get rid of the squirters altogether like the guys who do the 2 liter strokers.
