Putting the coldstart injector union bolt down and I was reluctant to check the torque spec, torqued it to 26 ftlbs when it's supposed to be only 11 ftlbs and striped the inside of the rail. I was able to get most of the stripped aluminum out but one small strip dropped into the rail...I know, I was like ****!111

Anyway, the hole is stripped, the union bolt will bolt but it doesn't lock at 11ftlbs, probably 2-3 ftlbs only. What can I do here?...before I take my axe and split my engine in two.

I dont think I wanna go through the trouble rethreading that cuz it's stripped anyway, the bolt won't grab if it's rethreaded. Can I do without cold start injector?
