I have ran into a problem...took off my turbo the other day to find out that the threads for the banjo bolt for the oil to the turbo have been stripped...i have talked to a few sources and on person said, since there are more threads in the block that have been untapped, get a double banjo bolt of the same size and use that. cut off the excess threads and call it good...another person suggested that i get it helacoiled (imporper spelling?) but that person wasnt sure if you could bore that part of the block out far enough to do that? so im asking for some suggestion to people that have A) come arcross this problem, or B) know what the hell there talking about...or C) have an extra SR block just sitting around for me...anywho...any help would be appriecated.

Helicoils are something you can do yourself. It inclues using a tap and these weird little insert things that take place of the damaged threads. I think Autozone or whatever you have in your area should be able to give you a hand

If the threads on the bolt are stripped, you may discard the bolt and upgrade to braided lines from Taka Motorsports. They come with their own fittings that will thread directly into the block.

If the threads on the block is stripped, you may follow the directions above.
