Typical reasons for this problem: 1) Using late model head bolts in an early block (not enough thread depth) 2) Overtorquing the bolt(s) Good news is that you can helicoil your block. One makeshift solution is to use an ARP head bolt in that hole, as the ARP will sink to the bottom of the thread depth. Make sure you clean out the hole before installing the bolt, consider chasing it with a good tap and using a micro vac to get all the crap out. 22REturbo.net 1988 4Runner 22RTE core, turbocharged, megasquirted...
