Quidam Posted August 10, 2011 Share Posted August 10, 2011 bummmpppp You may need to replace the cam carrier. If you need one let me know, I can ship pronto. Doug Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GeneralDisorder Posted August 10, 2011 Share Posted August 10, 2011 Yep - TIG weld it and retap it or replace the cam carrier. GD Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
idosubaru Posted August 10, 2011 Share Posted August 10, 2011 helicoil/timesert is the easy fix if there's enough material, which i would think there is, and you have or make room. the ghetto fix would be to tap it out to a larger thread size, use a larger bolt with flat head, and make your own crush washer/seal/oring for the bolt head. clearance may be tough, which one is it and do you have room? at which point cam carrier replacement may start looking mighty attractive. passengers side is the easier of the two if that's what you do.
