In the middle of my timing belt job I went to replace the camshaft seals, and as I went to put the retainer back on with the new seals, the bolts would not tighten down. I looked inside the holes and they're totally stripped out. I guess that explains why the flange was completely covered in RTV when I removed it...
So, I'm looking for some guidance on how to fix this. Can I just run a tap through the hole, or do I have to drill it larger then run the tap? I think that would end up having metal shavings go into the engine. Or should I just throw some RTV on it like the last guy?
