360 Intake manifold bolt misfit

That's great, but the O.P. says he has Eddy heads, and you are telling him to tap them...

I didn't catch that they were Eddy heads...

But if the threads have been galled, they need to be made true again...


Why does Eddy use heli-coils in the heads when you can tap into aluminum without them??? I worked at a factory that tapped threads into aluminum heads and blocks... We only used heli-coils for repairing damaged threads....
