i have the right taps to do that i got them at a show last year, it may work ,if its striped the tread then it my not but if it just been crosses threaded it might, its worth a try, if it comes to it lock tight them in leave it to go off really hard, so hopefully it will not spin the head is tighterned up, last resort really
please this time if you look for a engine make sure its one that you have to change the gears not the car, 3rd time lucky but it looks like it was not that lucky, ha ha ha

It's a 1300 cc. 16v. 5 speed gearbox. Around 80bhp. With 50,000 on the clock. Fit lovely under a mini bonnet. Same amount of tax as a normal mini. For the money it cost to do this compared to rebuilding a a series to the same power. It's a bargain.
