I have a major oil leak coming from the oil feed line at the head. When i went to replace the crush washers i noticed that the hole where the bolt goes into the head was stripped. So with this happing the bolt wont tighten down enough for the washers to work and oil is now shooting out of there. Some one told me to look for a block off bolt and run a new oil feed line off of the oilfilter housing. Where do i find this kit? Also with this hole being stripped do i need to retap it? Please help in any way. Thanks

not that these guys offers aren't both generous and helpful, but anther option would be to jb weld the hole shut and use this stainless line kit from RRE. The obvious benefit/drawback depending on how you look at it with this solution would be the increased oil pressure (although fresh oil) you would be getting from the oil filter bracket.
