Re: Stripped Threads-Help!

No, don't retap it. You don't want chips floating in there. The hole will be deeper that what is actually needed. There should be some good threads left at the bottom. I am not 100% positive on that hole though. Retapping will do you no good, the threads are already gone. Helicoil is the other option, but the head needs to come off for that. I wouldn't risk getting chips in the head.
