<VV> stripped V.C. bolt threads

[Harry Yarnell]

Two possible approachs.
Get a longer 1/4-20 bolt and see if there's enough thread deeper in the 
hole.
Second drill and tap for a Heli-coil.

Ok guys here's my new predicament.. I used every ones awesome advice and 
located, adjusted the lifter in question! Thanks again! While I was 
tightening a vc bolt, you guessed it, I stripped the threads out... I hardly 
applied any torque at all so I know it was ready to go. I've heard a lot of 
different suggestions but none from a Corvair enthusiast.(Which I find 
myself quickly becoming) So any advise would be much appreciated! I 
apologize if this is covered in the manual, I had some responses to just 
look in the manual and if I had one, I assure you I would! Mabey I can buy 
one from someone?!? ha

Dave
