yes you can rethread it your self,, you will need to drill it as close as you can to the same size hole,,, the you can get a threader at any part house,,,,

Let me guess. This wouldn't happen to be the exhaust manifold studs, would it now? I feel for you. Normally, they come out fairly easily, if you drill them in the center. Spray liberal amounts of penetrating fluid into the holes. Be careful not to drill too deep that you penetrate a coolant passage. At this point, you might be better off removing the head(s), and subleting the services to a machine shop, if you are not that well co-ordinated with a drill.

Yes you can drill and rethread the hole. If you tap it it will be bigger. I would consider buy a rethread kit and use it. (Heli Coil). But you DO NOT wanna drill to deep. Or your going to end up replacing the head. I would suggest taking it to a professional and have them do it. They wreck it they replace it at there cost.
