If you have more threads than equal the width of the bolt then you are ok. At this point you need to order a set of studs and take the block to a machine shop and have it line honed w/ the studs tightened down.You really can't put a helicoil type device in there because it won't provide an accurate torque reading and may back out.crap, just realized you might not be talking about a 5.0 block but it still applies.</blockquote>
