Exclamation Thread Repair Aluminum Housing???????

I need some advice...

I have some stripped threads in my Rotor Housing where my exhaust manifold bolts up. I'm wondering if anyone has had to repair these threads before and if so what did they use? (Heli coil, Thread locker,....)????

Thanks

NAPA sells a thread repair kit. Bring a stud to the store to make sure you get the right size. The kit will have a drill bit , a tap and the thread inserts with a tool to install. It's easy and is a permanent fix. Just follow the directions with the kit. Other parts stores should have the kits if you aren't near a NAPA.
