oil line hole stripped

[slideways2004]

my oil line return hole is stripped. (s14 sr) the bolt threads in but when i try to tighten, it just spins. i have been recommended helicoil. is this possible with teh turbo/mani on the car and w/o getting any shavings in the motor

helicoil yes, but maybe you just haven't lined up the oil line? When the line was crooked a little bit on mine it would be do 4 rotations before the bolt would pop back out...
