I was just tightening up my oil feed line from the head and there was nothing there.... My old setup was fed through the oil filter housing so this was never used before.. The bolt just kept spinning and didnt even get snug. I did NOT over tighten this bolt. The threads just came off... Like I said the bolt never even got snug..

What are my options? Do I tap it? if I do, do I worry about the shavings getting into the head? what would be the best thing to do? do I need to remove the head?
