Anything structural, we would not use a helicoil at all.
I used a Helicoil for a crank cap on a Vega motor (in my Monza). I put
50,000 miles on it after that, no problems.
I know I just answered but I should note.. I wouldn't use it on a spark
plug on a race bike...
Probably better to use the helicoil than not have one.
I would really have to do the points math... 600 dollars and a few days
for a stock head... 4000 and weeks for parts if we grenade it.
A stripped out helicoil will not grenade the motor. And with a helicoil,
you probably have a stronger plug hole. Had to helicoil my Evenrude
snowmobile wankle engine plug and lasted the rest of the life of the sled.
