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.


Great, you put your kid on the bike at 60 mph with it.. I wouldn't use
one on the top part of the motor spacing is just too critical up there.
