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
