Long story short....
broke off a head bolt in the water jacket when tearing the 302 down for the H/C/I swap, had a catastrophy with the Easy-out and hole got drilled crooked. The remainder of bolt was removed and now I have 3/4 of the bolt hole's threads. The head bolt will screw in but I am worried about torqing it down with the missing material.
Any ideas on how to compensate for the missing threads? ...I don't think JB Weld will cut it for filling this in.
I really can't replace this motor because I don't have the $$$ but I do have patience
