Put a Helicoil in, they do work, and not hard to do, then you can use your original bolts

Thanks for the responses on the manifold paint. This is all current as I have the engine out for the 3rd time for a leaky rear seal, and I'm confident enuf this time to tidy everything up before reinstalling. Incidently, I used a Moss conversion. The problems I had were do to with the seal housing not centering on the crank flange, so with the help of a mandrel I have now assured its correct position. I also substituted a very expensive Vitron seal, for the one supplied. Anyhow, there are 2 of the threaded holes in the aluminum sump that are stripped where the trany bolts up. If I can find a couple of nufeld bolts with an 11/4 long shank (7mm dia) 1/4W head, 10 threads to the cm., I would be able to catch 1/4 in of undamaged thread in the sump. Or does anyone have a alternative proven solution which does'nt include oversize non std bolts?[i] [/i]
