Excess fuel port on back of cylinder head

Post by origin »

Morning/Afternoon/Evening/Night (depending on where you are when you read this.

I was wondering if anyone knows the thread pitch of the port on the rear of the cylinder head where the line threads in for the excess fuel coming from the injectors? My port is stripped out and would like to helicoil the port so I can stop leaking fuel out when the engine is running. Hoping this might stop my hard starting issue as well.
