How do you repair the head bolt threads if possible? Not the bolts but the holes in the block. I've retapped the holes but when I tighten the bolts with the torque wrench the bolts never tighten. Last resort is to buy a new block.

Timeserts, Helicoils maybe. Not sure about the head studs, I've done Helicoils on a couple Mustang spark plugs where it's pushing decent power without issues.

Maybe call a local machine shop and see how they deal with it.

Quick search will give you a good place to start.
