Passenger side rear, and driver's side front on the doghouse to intake. I noticed today when I was trying to find out the problem with my car. The stud in the rear of passenger side won't get tight (tried turning it upside down so it would go in more), and driver's side front is the same.
What are my options? What can I do to fix this?

If there is enough material there to work with, I would try a regular thread insert that will never move when staked in properly and will hold for sure. It does however need a bigger hole drilled to fit the insert into than a helicoil does.
 
Someone just put on the POwer Plate,,,Maybe the longer bolt should be included with the POWER PLATE...............Justs a thought:D

This subject has come up before about Power Plate installations and problems with the bolts stripping. Someone suggested putting in studs and then using nuts.
