Well here goes again.
Puttin the tranny back in and find three of the four bolts holes stripped out. God only knows how they got that way since they were quite tight and solid when I pulled the thing. Anyone run into this kinda pain in the rump? But on to my question. Heli coils or locking threaded inserts? In searching I have not found anything dealing with this size bolts and being stripped. Does anyone know if the bell housing is cast iron or steel? I am so tired of things like this as I swear it feels like this thing has been nothing but 1 step forward and two/three/four steps back all the way.
I could honestly use some positive input as I swear I am feeling badly beaten on lately.
Either way, ideas are quite welcome.
Thanks in advance folks.
