SR20DET oil feed line threads rung on block!!

[Loaf]

Was putting a braided oil feed line on the silvia and while tightening it up on the block, the threads rung.

What do i do now? Anyway of rethreading it and using a bigger banjo bolt? Do i need a new block?

I drilled mine out wit an Angle drill (a plumber should have one) an tapped it out bigger, then i made an adapter like m16 fine screwing into the block about 40mm long an then tapped to suit the the banjo bolt.
