Just to clarify:
1. I'm doing this with head on the engine, in the car.

2. The studs are the e-bock kit which are the ARP studs/nuts/washers.

3. The stud must have un-screwed when rocker assy was removed and I didn,t catch it on re-assembly.

4. This hole is the oiling hole, which is chamfered and has restrictor in oil hole.

5. The helicoil which pulled out was the original put in by E-brock, not a repair.

6. The coil pulled out cleanly taking only the alum thread matl, leaving a 1/2" hole which might just need to be tapped for a timesert. If I need to go bigger to a "bigsert", then i"ll have to drill.
