I have used Helicoils with success on engines with that compression. It's best to have the head off so you can drill the correct angle and make sure the Helicoil does not hang out in the chamber.

http://www.timesert.com/They make some really nice stuff. I would pull the head, but I have greased the tap and repaired without when the customer didn't want to pay to pull it.

I suggest you call one of the Head manufactures (Veney, Stage V, Indy, etc...) Veney dose/will not use stainless Helicoils for example...based on the SS heat transfer properties, and conductivity Somewhere you can get Copper inserts that will do the trick, but cant seem to find or remember where???

I have used Timeserts for years and they are pretty much become part of whatever you install them in. They will be better than the old threads once you install them perfectly. Gus

It's February... head comes off easy... Welded or insert, you know the right answer on if you should fix it on the car.
If it were August and we were at Norwalk, we'd be having a different conversation. Exactly,with the money invested in that engine nows the time ,fix it correctly.What ever method you can see that it is done right and no issues will be found later.Now is not the time to temporary patch it. I agree 100% with both of these post replys you have too nice of a car and combo to not do it right and have the possibility of another failure at the wrong time.

Doug I use inserts all the time. No big deal. I have the tools to do it in the car. May just need to remove header.

Pulling the head isn't a big deal. More looking if the thread repair insert is OK. Obviously they work and are plenty strong. Just seeing if there are any other reasons not to use them. Doug Time sert makes thread repair kits for oe manufacturers. If you have any concerns, make a phone call. They know what they are doing.

While I'm not sure about the heat transfer question a Timesert is better in every way than a helicoil. To me a Timesert is a permanent repair and a Helicoil is just something to get you by. Now if I were doing one I would get the set of eight and do both heads while the chips are flying I just wish they were installed from the factory they are that good. Gus
