Just finished intalling a Vic jr intake and stripped a bolt. Damn torque wrench didn't click

I was wondering if I can helicoil it with the intake on. Be a shame to have to start all over again for one stinking bolt.

To helicoil it, the intake is going to come off. You need to drill and tap a larger thread for the helicoil to thread into.
