[QUOTE="mcarroll02, post: 1049933, member: 77994"] Take bolt to parts store and get one about 3/4" longer and get a nylock nut. If that's not an option due to access, then drill and tap to next size larger bolt( dont have to stay with metric, go sae if its what is just a smidge bigger) last resort, drill and tap to larger size and use a helicoil. Which the helicoil kits come with the drill and tap that you would need. Not talking about the spiral wire ones, the solid steel ones. I have repaired 8 blown out sparkplugs on my old 5.4 f150 that way....worked great till it started blowing them out too... [/QUOTE]
