Did I strip?

So I have to wait for a new bolt to come, but I'm making a thread to either make me feel worse or better while waiting.

I stripped out the Exhaust manifold bolt (the one with the spring).

Do you think I also stripped out the cast-iron manifold too, therefore rendering a new bold useless, or is it likely that the bolt itself yielded to the manifold.

I hate strippers.

Car Nut that is wishful thinking.

ascensions get a tap and run thru the manifold to clean the threads up.

Mine went bad removing the bolt, everything was rotted.

I would try the tap and a new bolt before looking for a new manifold for sure.

Does anyone know the size tap I would need (I don't own one, and have never used one.) :)

I think I will definitely do that as a backup, if the new stud doesn't thread in.
