Bit of a Problem, need advice. I have sheared a stud that holds the cylinder on to the case, The other 3 came out easy as pie. i have drilled the stud out to 7mm but it is too rough to put a reliable m8 thread in. X( X( X(

so would this stud work as a repair if i drilled it and ream it to 8.5mm then tap it to an m10 ??

Stud, exhaust port oversize (M8/M10 x 38mm) -- n0144832, n01-448-32 -- Volkswagen part from VW Heritage

I dont want to helicoil it as the coefficient of thermal expansion may cause the helicoil to vibrate loose, i appreciate your input on this guys :D
