Re: I over toruqe a thernostat bolt any solutions
There is a product called "heli-coil" it is a kit with a drill bit, tap, insert tool, and inserts. There are purchased according to the threads you are trying to replace (8x1.25, 10x1.5 etc.) The only problem is you need enough room to drill out the old threads.
