... I think the right thing to do would be moving the helicoil farther down in the hole where there is more meat.



After checking over two sets of the standard Victors last night that both have the same narrow center pedestal, I'm of the same opinion that the heli-coil location is the issue.

Is the Time-Sert kit shown above a legit DIY deal, or should I work w/ a local machine shop to ensure this isn't botched up? I've installed plenty of heli-coils before, but this job looks to be a little different since it involves drilling much deeper than the existing heli-coil, etc.
