What do you guys think would be wiser for a stripped head? Its my daily ride but i live in montana so its kinda racing app also. New cylinder head or a coil??

What motor you got? and if its yer racing app and you got the cash now would be a great time to upgrade!!

You need to say which hole is stripped.

spark plug threads or what?

If the head is repairable, do so.

the head is stripped or the head bolt stripped out of the block....???

headbolt out of the block

You have two options there.

#1
Get a new block.

#2
Helicoil the stripped out hole.

Helicoil is the cheaper of the two. Requires drilling the old threads out, what's left of them anyways, tapping the hole, and inserting a new steel thread. It's not difficult, but it is time consuming.

You know what's involved in a new block.

swap to a b series, or another d series motor.

Thanks guys. Do you think that the helicoil would be dependable? I live in the styx so every chance i have i nail it to the floor. I'm looking at maybe forced induction, how do you think the helicoil would withstand. or would it be more worth it just to get a new cylinder head?

Since you're going FI, get a new block. I wouldn't trust the helicoil for that applicatiton. It would be a disaster if you were to put boost on the engine and all of a sudden blow a headgasket and pull out the head bolt/stud at the same time.

Save yourself some money and get another block.

take your block to a good machine shop and they can do it correctly the first time.
