Manifold thread stripped :(
Hi Guys,
Classic WRX-STI, had a leak on the pipe that connects one of the banks to the turbo up pipe, i got all new gaskets and did the job but on re fitting i could see that new studs had been put in the head part of the engine and one of them unfortunatly stripped the threads even before i managed to apply any pressure..
Question is do you recommend Helicoil or something ive seen called timesert ? or is there any other suggestions ?
Thanks
