Subject: [Shotimes] OT - stripped threads


My 1996 Jeep Grand Cherokee with 5.2L V-8 and multi-port injection has an
aluminum throttle body where the carburetor would normally be.  In the
center of the TB is a threaded rod that holds the air cleaner on, just like
on a carburetor.  The threads in that hole (in the Aluminum TB) are
stripped.  Should I fix it with a heli-coil?  Does anyone have any
experience with some sort of high-temp epoxy?  Comments?  Suggestions?
