Stripped bolt hole
I was retorqueing the intake manifold on my 351w and stripped one of the bolt holes in my aluminum head. As I recall, there is a part of the intake gasket that goes all the way around the pocket where this bolt hole sets. My question is, can I drill and helicoil the head without metal shavings getting into the rest of the engine, or do I need to remove the intake manifold?
