Message	I took my plenum off to do a gasket and vtcs and make sure everything was good and I put it back on and when I was putting the bolts on on seemed to sit good but it kept turning so I took it out and it stripped out two threads so it is sitting snug in there but when you turn it nymore it will keep turning. I know I need to do a helicoil but will it be ok and not effect anything too much for a couple months until I take it off to do fuel injectors and that? I know stupid question but I am kind of worring about. It is a twin turbo also.
