Exhaust stripped bolt on exhaust manifold

Striped intake bolt hole

I bought a Time Sert kit to repar my striped hole, cost 60 bucks though, its a good kit but costs, they give you 5 serts with the kit
 
On my homelite weed eater i keep on stripping the carb manifold bolts so I just do what fenderhole does: screw in a bigger bolt. xcept once I was doing this 3 times on the same part of the cylinder and I couldn't get any bigger without making the hole in the manifold bigger, so I filled er up with JB drilled a small pilot hole in it, and screwed my bolt in there. And held great!
 
Just because it comes with a stud doesn't mean you have to use one.
Just find yourself a pair of slightly larger bolts and tap the engine and be done with it forever.
