Our aluminum heads strip pretty easy. Your gonna need to rethread it.

Stripped before 14 ft/lbs?

If so the head's annealed.

Every time I look at this threads title I see something dirty.

Get out the tap & Die set...or get a new head?

Ian, let me put your words into newb terms for the gents.

YOUR HEAD IS FUBAR'D BECAUSE IT GOT HOT LIKE A MOTHER AND IS NOW SOFT AS BUTTER.

Your only hope is to helicoil it and hope for the best.

I knew what annealed was...Does that mean Im not a newb? Huzzah!
