well some how i managed to cross thread the rocker arm threads in the cylinder. the bolt itself and fulcrum are good. How should I go about getting the bolt to thread in the cylinder head?

 

How badly are they damaged? You can try to run a starting tap (tapered tip) down in to clean it up

 

they are damaged pretty good. Towards the middle and bottom. I think I need to rethread the place where the bolt goes. Can you explain what I need and how to do it?

 

If it's that bad you will need to Heli-Coil it. There are kits to buy that you drill out the old and tap new threads to insert the Heli-Coil and then the bolt.
Check out some of them here
Then you can youtube it to see how to do it. It's much easier than you think!

 

I got a kit do I need to drill it out or can I just tap it in?

 

You will need to drill it out first
