 I would suggest that you helicoil rather than use oversize studs and it maybe an idea to do them all when you are at it as some of the others could be damaged if not stripped. I believe the torque recommended for these was only 4lb which is very low and easily exceeded which often leads to splayed cam covers and oil leaks. I ended up buying a 0-20 Britool torque wrench - possibly ott but accurate for this kind of thing.
