My Victor Upper noticed on one of the fuel rails thread

Any sugestions on how to repair this? tia

Use some thread sealant and call it good.

As long as the threads are good and can be sealed i'd be fine running it. I'd still be pissed though.

Thanks
might try a sealant
Sorta Pissed even though it was a good deal.

it won't hurt a thing.. seal it up and call it good.

If you're really worried about it, but a stud in it with red loctite.

Thanks.

What everyone else said will work

Similar thing occurs on LS1 ported heads, where each intake runner will have a rocker bolt
that runs into the port.

A dab of fuel/oil-safe silicone sealant on the bolt threads will seal it up. Be sure not use
too much sealant where it will squeeze into the port. I usually dab it at the half way point
of the thread engagement.
