<DIV>Keith, a helicoil will certainly work assuming you can find someone with
the correct size(s). I have successfully drilled and tapped the header
bolt holes, just go slow, take your time, etc. I also suggest making sure
you don't drill too deep on the exhaust port flange, just deep enough to get
necessary threads. Also, a flat bottom tap will let you get deeper with
the threads than a standard tap that goes all the way thru. </DIV>

<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>I have a Webra 1.45 that has had the threads
stripped out of the screw holes that are used to mount the header. I need some
advice on the best way to fix this. Drill out and re-tap bigger?
Heli-coil? Another solution?</FONT></DIV>
