head issue help

[deubanks7]

I just bought this car a week ago it had a blown head gasket. when taking the motor apart i realized that it was missing a head bolt. after looking the reason is the bolt hole has been wallowed out. i tried a hellicore but the hole is to big. any suggestions?

Try a King-sert they are a bit larger then Heli-coils. If that doesn't work find a bolt that is big enough to fit in the hole, cut it off flush. Then drill and tap that to the head bolt size.
