So what started as a simple task, replacing an exhaust manifold and gasket, on my 2001 Dakota has turned into a bit of a nightmare. I broke a stud in the head so I decided to drill it out and ended up ruining the threads so I figured I would just install a helicoil. As I was cleaning up the hole to install the helicoil I ended up nicking the water jacket. Does anyone know of a thread repair that would hold up and be water tight? Maybe something like a time sert but solid on the end? Otherwise my only other solution would be to replace the head. I'm selling the truck so I want to minimize my expenses but I don't want to pass along something that I know is flat out wrong.

Thanks in advance for the advice.
