My B16 block had a ghetto rigged stud setup where 3 grade 8 bolts use to go for my driver side mount. A bad mount created pressure and snapped them out when I was in Ohio. I had to 'fix' it with helicoils to get home. After thinking over and over as to what to do, I decided to fix it cause I paid for the damn motor, I'm gonna get to use it.
Here is the damage (helicoils are visible):
I would like the 2 top holes filled in with aluminum and the bottom bolt remove (that is the only honda bolt for that block, it's stuck in there, grade 8 metal > easy out). Then I'm gonna take my block to a machine shop to have it retapped. As long as the cost is under 600-700$ (the price of a GSR block). I don't know where to start with this. I need people to recomend some shops for me. Thanks.
