Chevy Cruze Valve Cover Bolt Stripped at Stanley Call blog

Chevy Cruze Valve Cover Bolt Stripped. Put the valve cover on with the two outside bolts and whatever threads the middle bolts will grab. pulled the cover off and noticed that bolt is stripped, so i need a new one. I would try tapping the hole first though if the threads aren't too messed up. i used a drill, wd40 and star or torx male socket with socket wrench to remove broken bolt you are going to have to remove the cover to install a helicoil. The bolts are captured to the cover. Sometimes you can just retap the hole and it will be able to take a new bolt and stay secure. about the only way to truly repair it is to either drill and tap it one size up, and get a bigger bolt, or drill it and use something. you basically tap/bore a new, slightly larger threaded hole and then install a sleve/insert which has threads on the outside that fit the new hole you made. you will need to measure the bolts of the valve cover to see what size heli coil you will need. I was able to find another forum here that said the size is m6x30 with.
