Re: Starter bolt stripped out, now what?
starters had a few differnt bolt patterns over the years.
some blocks were drilled for both staggered and straight pattern starters.
if your block is damaged on the outer bolt hole then i wish you good luck.
if its a inner bolt hole then check your block real good you just might have another bolt hole or you could add one....if not then your choice is either too drill and tap to a larger bolt? or heli coil it....thats if the weld holds up.
drilling and tapping a block really isnt that hard. but drilling and tapping threw the weld will be harder.
