so i was installing my camshaft and i was tightening the bolt with my hand. As i was tightening the bolt the bolt was just turning but not tightening. I took it out and it stripped the threads in the cylinder head. So my question is, do i rethread the hole where the bolt goes or is there any other solution?
help with the bolt of the camshaft bearing cap.

Helicoil...but be carefull how deep you drill. The aluminum is relativly soft and it's easy to go too deep.....drill sloooooow.
