Doing this means the bad hole does not need
a fastener screwed and unscrewed over time. It stays in place and the 'weak' hole isn't worsened.
I hate doing this to a NOS block too but it'll be our little secret. It WILL solve the problem more easily than the other ideas.

How is this any different from the helicoil solution? All the same issues with plumb seem to still exist don't they?
