oh16 exhaust

[robertkbush]

Ok my OH16 exaust bolts are striped are there any tricks to fixing this . Will a hele coil fix this or will drilling and taping be my beast bet ?

I'm pretty sure you can drill it out and go up a bolt size with no problem. Mine currently has two different size bolts from what the PO had done before me and it seems to work fine.

If you have access to a heli-coil set of the correct size, by all means use it. This way if you have to pull the bolts again you will not be dealing with a steel to aluminum match, which is usually problematic at best. Never sieze the exhaust bolts liberally during assembly, and it should save frustration next time.
