Need help! Stripped timing belt tensioner assembly bolt.
Just reassembling everything after timing belt water pump install and the passenger side tensioner hole with the Allen head stripped on me.
I know it bolts into the oil pump, and that requires lifting the motor to drop the oil pan. Really not wanting to do that. Would a helicoil work on this issue? I appreciate any help I can get.

Oil pump replacement without removing engine
If helicoil is not practical, and changing oil pump becomes the better option, you can replace it without removing the engine.
