Stripped Holes in Cylinder Head for Intake Manifold Bolts

Metric anything is for foreign cars. Foreign car mechanics at dealerships are the highest paid mechanics because working on foreign cars sucks. Metric fasteners are not the only one of their stupid ideas. It’s a criminal shame that their stupid ideas have overcome American automotive manufacturing. Cars used to be rebuildable, now they are just disposable appliances. They used to have style and class, now they look like colored jellybeans. And 95 % of the mechanics out there don’t know how to fix anything, they just know how to replace parts.
I don't like it either. I'd be different if everything that was metric was metric, but it's not. It's better than the late 70s, but it's still not 100%. I can well remember as an example, the alternator bolts on a 305 Chevy in the late 70s. The bottom bolt was still the 3/8 bolt with a 9/16 head, but the top bolts were metric. The rest of the cars were a mix and match of SAE and metric fasteners. It was bullshit.
