Thanks Keith. After looking at the site, may be a little too time consuming for me. I'm a CPA in the middle of tax season and don't have the time. I'd rather hand it off to a reputable shop and get it done right.

I am trying to get my car back together for Musclepalooza in May and am running out of time!

You may also want to look at Timeserts. They are solid also and easy to install. I prefer them over Helicoils. One other advantage to them is I have never had one back out like a Helicoil will do.

I see a problem with this type of repair on the manifold port holes.First the holes would have to be milled not drilled to protect the flat seat at the bottom.Then a bottoming tap would have to be used to get the thread close enough to the seat then a correct depth insert would have to be installed.This repair would be a set-up nightmare.Has anyone out there ever repaired these threads?
