    Rocker Arm Bolt Stripped
    I have a B&S 14.5 OHV and the rocker arm bolt is stripped. Does anyone know what size the thread are that go into the cylinder head? I am hopefully going to try and match a helicoil and retap the threads. Dang aluminum! Thanks in advance! If you have any other suggestion I could try, it would also be appreciated. JB Weld wouldn't hold.

    If you ever have this problem... The best answer is to use a helicoil kit. The proper size should be 1/4 X 20. It worked flawless and the mower is back up and running strong.
