Was cleaning the IAC and stripped the bottom holes of the intake manifold. So went and bought a tap and die, I tapped to big of a hole. Am I now screwed? Where can I get an insert for m10 so that I can still use the m8 bolts?

 

Local industrial/fastener shop or auto parts store. Try your yellow pages.

I already tried the auto parts store, all they had was helicoils. Do they make a m10 insert that you can thread the m8 bolt into?

 

Try timesert.com

 

I called my local Fastenal and I think they have them, running over there after work today.

Crossing my fingers

 

Ok no luck with a helicoil, ended up ordering a new upper intake manifold. Question, do I just need one new gasket for this? The old one I assume is not reusable correct?

 

Did you even check timeserts out? They have exactly what you would have needed to fix it. Why ask for advice and then ignore it?

It's a steel gasket. Reuse it if it looks ok. Install it dry.

 

:wabbit2: wow I thank you for this link!!!!

I had never come across them before. Some of these will be a great edition to my interesting goodies for fixing failures of thread repair jobs.

To bad the OP never checked them out it seems .

 

I tried this exact same thing from my LOCAL fastenal..I messed up the threads bad. Got a used upper intake manifold for 30 bucks. I did not ignore anything.

 

Cool. Good deal!

 

wyoming you may like these even better, Keenserts. I use these all of the time as a machinist, for thread repair or high use/strength threaded application, and highly recommend them.
