Head bolt stripped on block any suggestions

Assuming you mean the threaded hole in block? Heli-Coil.

 

[Bryan King]

Correct! Would it be possible without removing the head using a stud with a nut? Don't think gasket is blown .

 

[hymie2lt]

Yeah, I dont know about that? I Had the head off when I heli-coiled the one head bolt hole.

A stud may be worth a try. If it can reach undamaged treads, it should hold. In small block Chevrolets I always used the same torque specification with a stud, but I always wondered if I was over torquing due to the fine thread on the stud. I have pulled the treads out and had to use a Heli-Coil, that requires head removal. In my case it always pulled all of the threads out of the block deck.

JB weld on stud threads in block will it hold?

 

[miangus]

If there are no threads for the stud to reach, JB weld is a waste of time.
