Ok so,
The coolant line thread on the block is stripped. It leaks coolant all over the place and I plan on re-threading it. I have braided lines on the way but i will need to helicoil the re-threaded hole to fit the braided lines. I've done a bit of research and people seem to do what i have just outlined above. There are 'time serts' that are similar, but way more expensive (i think?). don't know if its necessary to spend that much over helicoils.
Anyone had this issue before? How did you go about fixing it?
This is for my s15 spec r.
