The bolt is stripped or the hole the bolt goes into?

Then you'll have to install what's called a TimeSert and it requires a kit. Call your Honda and Toyota dealers and ask their parts departments if they have TimeSerts and the tools to install them which includes a drill bit and an oversize tap that countersinks the hole.

How would replacing the bolt take care of the stripped threads in the block?

Reply to Sparkybuoy's Post: I think a bigger bolt will hold, but I am no expert on retapping the threads. That's why I am wondering if a new tensioner and bolt will fix the problem?
