i know theres also mobile machine shops. You may want to see if you can find 1 of those and hit them up and have them do a timesert or see what they suggest.

i dont know if i'd trust myself drilling the hole. i guess i'll call around to some machine shops tomorrow. this is making me want to part out the whole damn engine, everything possible has gone wrong with this swap.

thats just something i found real fast. just look up machine shops in the yellow pages and some will say if they are mobile or not.

Re: Stripped Head Bolt Thread
i dont recommend a helicoil for head bolts. a time sert is the only way to go and have it work correctly. you think they are expensive? see how much it costs to put every one of them in a northstar block.
