new guy with a 1211

[davidnilsson]

I have my dads old 1211 149-630-100 with a kohler m12aqs(k301)
engine. Iam fixing it up ran into trouble with exhaust port in the block
it is stripped out elbow thread is ok. talk about loud. Any ideas on how
to repair the threads in the block?

I'd think helicoil...

Is it the pipe thread that is stripped? If so it might be easier to just add a flange to your muffler and use the two 1/4 inch , I think, on the sides of the port. If it's the tapped holes then a helicoil will work.
