420A Crank Bolt

[HPfreak]

Hey guys, i have a big problem! i was working on my car recently and i noticed that the crank pully bolt was completely stripped out and i need to change the t-belt and waterpump. I believe that on the 420a motors you have to use a puller to get the crank pully off but if the bolt is stripped out how can i get it back on. So i was wondering if anyone would have any cheap suggestions on how i can fix this problem. Thanks Alot!

Are the bolts threads stripped? Or are the threads in the crank stripped?

Personally i think Heli coils suck a$$. Try to clean up the threads with a tap.

hey, when i noticed the bolt it was just sitting in the crank pully and when i pulled it out the threads on the bolt looked fine so im assuming that the threads in the crank shaft are stripped. Thanks.
