I was changing the head gasket on my s13. When reinstalling the timming chain double pulley, the threads in the head, for that bolt stripped out. They pulled out way before prescribed 60 ft lbs. Has any techs dealt with this problem before? Heil-Coil or Timesert. I am thinking timsert myself. But the timsert kit is way expensive. I would like to avoid getting another head. Any help would be great..ThanxArc
