whats up guys. ill make a long story short i just got another talon with the motor and trans pulled ,so last night i was cleaning the engine to get ready to put a new head gasket and arp's in before it goes in the car(preventative maintenance) and i noticed two stud holes are tapped out slightly bigger and one still has a stud broken off in it .
so what are my options (cheapest possible) . can i just drill and tap for a slightly bigger size, or drill it out and helicoil the holes . im stuck in a sh*tty situation right now and i really don't have the time or money to get another head or take it to a machine shop but its rather be safe than sorry , im worried i might have to get another head and i doubt anyone would buy this one for around the same going price around here
