stripped valve cover bolts

This applies to ALL models and even other brands like a BMW I owned last year. This is one way to fix although not the only way.

AHHhhh homemade thread chasers, made dozens.
Fine video GLRT.


Few times I mildly tempered the cutting edge of this homemade thread chaser & turned it into a one time only tap.
IF you're not careful, it will cut new threads in aluminum or wallow out the hole a bit thus losing precious thread lands.
Something you don't need if what threads left are sorely needed.

.
When I do one thing, I'll side-step a little & learn few more things.
