Charlie........."Kleen-zerts" are the answer to yer prayers. DO NOT USE "heli-coils". Both are replacement threads but "Kleen-zerts" are "staked in place" and do NOT need a lotta meat to hold in place like "heli-coils".

And BTW, you can NOT successfully weld or "braze" castiron exhaust manifolds. The castiron is "permiable" and soaks up CARBON from the exhaust gases and makes it UN-WELDABLE. Byte the bullet, NEW manifold $50 (cheap)

Many engine blocks with corroded exhaust manifold ports are successfully repaired with HI-TEMP epoxy (drill a couple of shallow 1/8" holes first to anchor the epoxy) Follow instructions. .......Dell
