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.

/Why would you "grenade" it if you used a Helicoil??? If it failed, it
would simply blow the sparkplug out like it did before. You do realize
don't you, that structurally, a lot of "fixes" such as the helicoil can
be stronger than the original don't you?
