Default Re: cross threaded, yikes!!!!

If it's only the top couple of threads, you might be able to clean it up with a tap. I'd run a tap thru there and use plenty of high temp silicone on the tube when you reinstall it. If the threads are completely ruined, you might have to drill the hole out and tap it for a helicoil.
