been hearing what sounded like an exhaust leak for a little while so this weekend i thought i would go ahead rotate the tires, and check the torque on my header bolts (if you put aftermarket ones on you know how they loosen up)

looks like on the passenger side i have a bolt that stripped out the threads in the block.

question:
What's the best way to fix this? should i try and tap it out to a larger size or take it in and let a shop fill the hole and retap? need some help here.

until i get it fixed i'm just sitting here trying to figure SOMETHING out....

 

I would check on a helicoil.

 

x2 on the helicoil, have used them before and the work great...
