Im so lost, i thought i need a new head gasket for my b16a1 head and B18c1 block so i was taking head off to see what my problem was, i went to crack lose the head bolts and the one in the far left corner by the vtec selonoid was finger lose, so i was like o ok i just need to re torque my head bolts, well it wouldnt tighten, i was pissed pulled it out and there was like a heli coil on it or it was my threads, so i went and got a heli coil kit aka (thread repair kit) and di it to the first two on the left,by the intake mani, so i did that put head back on and started to try to tighten head bolts, and i wasa giving the one a little time for the locktight to settle and the i started tighting them down and the same thing happend to my far right sidde head bolt in the front? im so lost what should i do?
I do have a drill bit that the guy sold me the heli coil kit, but when i did it all i did was use the tap, because it seemed to work fine? but can i retap my block with a bigger head bolt, or what? please guys what are my opitions???????
