Head Stud Stripped?

[PredatorSniper]

I put on my new ERL manifold and one of the studs just kept on spinning, and spinning and spinning. What is the best was to repair the threaded hole in the head to fix this issue?

I would Helicoil the stripped thread.

Heli-coil it. Had to do that for two om my studs.

I assume my local part store has that. Wonder if I can do that with the manifold on the car?

If my stud ends up being bad where do I get another one?

aluminum is way weaker than those studs, chances are your haed needs a helicoil but just for the sake of answering your question, here you can get the OEM studs.

Where these studs factory? If so can I just get one from the local Mitsu dealer?

Yes they are factory and you could buy them at the local mitsu dealer. You also can by a single stud or however many you need. Few bucks a piece.

Thanks for the help guys!

My local parts store should have the helicoil kit for my thread pitch and size right?

8mmx1.25 is what you're looking for. You're more like to find them at a lower tier / more local store than someplace like home depot or lowes. Your best bet might be a place like Carquest, O'Reilly's, (insert local auto chain here).
