Howdy everyone -
I recently had a set of headers installed and the shop managed to strip out the threads on the front most exhaust manifold hole on the driver's side head. I've heard that there are water jackets very close to some of these holes, so I hesitate to drill it out and put a helicoil in because I don't know how much clearance I have to do the drilling. Anyone have any advice on how to proceed? I've developed an exhaust leak recently and am trying eliminate it by making sure all bolts are good and tight.
