Started a coolant flush yesterday and after I removed the thermostat I couldn't put the outlet back on, the bottom bolt hole is stripped out. Does anyone know what size helicoil to get for it?

Should be M8x1.25 from memory, but the best way to find out is take a good bolt with you when you go looking for a helicoil kit.
