Hi all. It's 9:30 PM California time and I am trying to finish resealing an oil cooler on a 1971 Bus(I also own a 1983 Westfalia) and unfortunately the engine stud holding the cooler down has pulled out, stripped its threads. I have 8x1.25 helicoils, and various and sundry taps and drills. But I don't know what size tap and drill I need to use for the 8mm x 1.25 helicoil. I've tried the heli-coil web site which is totally worthless, unless someone knows what drill size "Q" means, or tap size "2087-8". If there are any night owls with this kind of information handy, I would greatly appreciate receiving it. Thanks, John
