I have a mess of a 2001 GT, clutch exploded, flywheel was all rigged, have a Crown Vic engine. 4 out of 6 holes are stripped should I tap to next size or do I heli coil. bolt is 10mmx1.25x20mm
Please give positive answers,,,,

Six of one and half dozen of the other, in an application like that a Helicoil is a good repair. If drilling and tapping to the next larger size I would do all six just to make sure balance is maintained as well as possible--the larger bolts will be heavier...

Thank you for the straight up answer. I'm gonna start by tapping all 6 bolts
