Camshaft Seal Fastner Threads Stripped

[dsmtuna]

Ok so i was fixing an oil leak on my crankshaft seal, replaced all seals that we available to me when i had the timing belt and other associated things off while i was at it, so i got all the seals in when i was tighting the bolt that holds down the camshaft seal, the threads in the block stripped out, on the left side on the left seal (facing the left wheel) i have no idea what to do and it really sucks any suggestions would be extremely thanked.....

Hela coil it perhaps? Tap it and re-thread it? You are talking about the bolts in the top of the head on the side away from timing belt right?

correct, but what got in the way of a heli coil was the nipple that the seal fastner comes down i would have to destroy it ### the heli coil is too big
