it's on cylinder four so access is about as best as one could ask for.

Your thoughts?
Phil, personally I was looking into it and thinking about it. The timsert would be a better more solid than a helocoil. Although both would work. It is your best option. It can be done either and save your friend alot cash on machine shop repair.
