Drill bit? The tap you have should say right on it what size pilot to drill.

You do have the special tap right?

Right now I don't have any of it. There is no point buying it if the hole is already to large.

Yea thats certainly true! I prefer the threaded inserts myself, provided you have enough material to work with.
