Prolly a dumb bolt q..but here goes it
So I bought a arp stainless steel bolt kit and most of them are going in fine.
cept for the motor mount holes...They're really hard to go through bout half way through...so how do i clean them out
( actually only 2 arnt goin in )..so do i just spray a paint stripper in in them and clean them with a q-tip /suc vac or use a thread chaser?.I dont wanna wreck the threads so i didnt crank on it to hard...been there before..not a happy place.
-I can see orange paint in the holes...Engine was orange

A tap (chaser) would work the best, but chemicals may work too. IMO, a tap with some penetrating oil would work the best.
