I have a used Menegon ported head I bought. I just installed the valve cover on my engine build last night and realized 3 of the valve cover holes in the head are stripped out. I tried to torque them to 105 inch pounds like the FSM says and some just let go before getting there.
How do I repair this? Should I just re-tap the holes for a size larger (what size?) and use different bolts? is there a rethread insert in the right size that would work in the head?
Please help. I'm sure the valve cover will leak with these bolts loose. Thanks!
