I was going to buy a kit, m10x1.25 since 2 exhaust studs are stripped and I am trying to button up the exhaust to pass smog. (sucking in too much 02 and making the car run rich).

NAPA BALKAMP HELICOIL METRIC THREAD REPAIR KIT
SIZE: M10X1.25
PART#7703020

HELICOIL THREAD REPAIR METRIC KIT
SIZE: M10X1.25-12
INSERT PART#HEL-5543-10

but they are like $60+ bux!! anyone in the Sacramento area want to help me out and sell me their extra? I know someone has one... laying around.

Thanks!

 

better yet... maybe someone really nice wants to just let me use theirs?

 

If you can find it....use a time-sert instead of a helicoil. Helicoil's arnt anywhere near as strong
