Engine Mount Holes Stripped on B18C1
 

Hey Guys,
I have a B-series motor that has all 3 holes stripped on the actual where the engine mount bolts to. Anyone ever had this problem before? If so, how much were repairs? Any recommendations on shop? What to expect? Not too sure if they would have to pull out the entire motor? Thanks guys.:(

when my engine tried to fall out this happened. take motor out and get it timecerted or with some sort of insert

Ya Time serts are the best solution as you still use the oem size bolts.

For head studs, they're like 20 a hole, but they are a pain to do.


Those are a lot easier to get to.
Perhaps 10 per hole?

This happen to me I went to ace bought some tool to make a bigger thread and bought bigger bolts now the problem I had was to make the hole in the bracket i ttook it to a locksmith and he drill thru it with no problem cheap easy n my car is still running

ahhh shit your motor is pretty much blown then.... sorry:(

We sell a part called a Keensert. Much better that a helicoil. I would try to source something along those lines and just make dang sure you dont drill too deep or that the hole gets into any oil passages or critical areas. If you aren't sure about it, I would pull the engine and take it to someone to have the work done
