Subject: [TR] stripped thread in alumium cylinder
head

While trying to re-torque my inlet manifold bolts on my Stag, I noticed
one
of the long bolts thread is stripped. The other short ones in the area are
fine. I do have a
slight leak.
My question is. Is there a quick short term
fix? I'm looking for something
which  will prevent me removing the manifold
and inserting a heli-coli., but
enable the
bolt to tighten.
On searching the
web, I came accross a product by Permatex, but the reviews
were no good.
Any
thoughts?

I'll prefer to wait until the winter months to heli-coli all the
threads.
