Drill the incorrectly placed hole in the block in the right place for a Heicoil only if it is close enough to correct with this method.
A possible 3rd method would be to put a bolt in the hole flush and start over. I don't like this one because the new hole will be partly in this repair, if the "plug" loosens it could jam and the bolt won't want to come out. I also think that it may not be as strong as it could be, depending on how much overlap, about 1/2 a diameter would be better than less.
Good luck, Grigg | | |
