Returning Visitors
If you are a returning visitor who never received your confirmation email, then odds are your email provider is blockinig emails from our server. The only thing that can be done to get around this is you will have to try creating another forum account using an email address from another domain.
If you are a returning visitor to the forum and can't log in using your old forum name and password but used to be able to then chances are your account is deleted. Purges of the databases are done regularly. You will have to create a new forum account and you should be all set.

Yup. Fastenal will be quite a bit more expensive, but the product they sell has a few more coils in it as I recall.
I've bought Heili-Coil kits in two sizes, one for the exhaust flange bolts, and one for the valve cover bolts. Each kit was between $40-50. I got the first one at a machine tool supply shop, and the second one here;

It was a different brand name than Heli-Coil, but still high quality. I liked the insert tool a little better than the Heli-Coil one. If you buy the kit, you get a drill, tap, insert tool, and a number of inserts.
Having the extra inserts is nice, because it will slightly decrease the chances of needing one again.
