striped the threads going into the coolant line
so i'm not sure what this pieace is called. so its on the head, its right next to the coolant sensor, it has holes in the bolt. i think its called the steam line? i think it goes to the resiovr. but when i was installing my stage 2 i ended up stripping the female threads anyone now a way to fix it with out buying a head?

i was thinking about using something like that^^^^ but since coolant will be hitting it, it might fade away. it's not leaking now, but im going to install a new fuel rail, and i wanted to fix it before i put it back in. makes me wonder if they make another size bigger bolt to go there so you can tap it that size.

Your best bet would be a helicoil thread repair kit.
Not really cheap and a bit of work to install but way cheaper than a head and will last forever if done right
