Helicoil (or better, Timesert) that sucker.

edit: I should note that I find installation of Timeserts a therapeutic experience.

Timeserts are more expensive and occasionally harder to find (I am a lazy person who only orders from the Internet, so everything arrives at the same place), but they are a better insert. However, they are also a touch harder to install at first.

I stripped several studs on my exhaust manifold. I pretty much just ignore everything now.

I broke the bolt on my idler pulley the other day. I hate old bolts. Amazon came through for that bolt though, because it was that or buy the whole $200 assembly.
