I've found an upper front engine mounting bolt (photo) has stripped its thread in the engine block. "Copper" wire strands came out of the hole with the bolt, and now it turns freely.
I've a new metric bolt a size up, and a hand tap to suit. I'll have to drill the mounting hole slot to the new size.
Has anyone got a moment to recommend whether I should go with this, or use an helical thread repair, or think again ?
Many thanks all
