belt tensioner bolt hole stripped out help

[SlammedEG]

i just bought a d16z6 put it in, seen the timing belt was way loose figured that the belt was old, so i bought a new belt and tensioner. put it on same s**t, took out the motor this morning looked in bolt hole striped like crazzy!! , so ive read on other forums about helicoil and time- sert, really want to go with timesert cause it seems stronger but no one sells it at auto parts stores. i looked online for them 80 bucks cheapest i found i really dont care about the price but i dont know what kit i should buy because i dont know the bolt size and thread has anyone done this before and know exactly what to get ? are the time-serts trustworthy for something like this ?
thanks

take the bolt to the parts store and they can gauge it for you... i also believe if you call a dealer they have the thread OD and pitch info as well.

im not sure what would be the best to fix it honestly...
