just got off the phone with the local mechanic. he said he'll helicoil it and get it all straightened up for like 55 bucks an hour. it should only take 30 minutes to do at most so im going to be watching him at all times. i cant wait any longer for my friends dad to be free to come work on it, i dont have the tools to do so (good bits, a tap and helicoils) and its only going to cost another 20 dollars than what i was going to pay him anyways, plus i'll get helicoils instead of just retapping it. so this weekend hopefully the honda will be fixed if they aren't douches about it.
