      A good friend here in Montreal is re-building the engine for his TR3A 
(used for touring) and found that the threads in the top of the block where the 
rear RHS head stud is supposed to secure the head has been stripped of its 
threads.

      He would like to know what is the best option to solving this problem. He 
is concerned that a heli-coil may not take the torque. Also a larger stepped 
stud, specially manufactured means a larger threaded hole in the block (like 
the heli-coil as well) and he is concerned that he may hit a water passage with 
both of these options.

      Any proven suggestions ?
