    Helicoils for exhaust bolt holes?

    Has anyone installed a helicoil in the head were the exhaust bolts go, 2 of mine are stripped and I'm looking at installing the helicoils. I'm somewhat concerned as they are stainless steel and I've heard that stainless steel distorts with high temperatures.

    Thanks in advance.

    Heli-coils will do just fine in the exhaust bolt holes. Put some anti seize on the threads when you install the new bolts.....I always put bolts in all the other holes when I'm drilling as you can sight along them to be sure you are drilling straight.....BadBillyB

      I had to do this with the used 1150 head I bought. At least three were stripped and one they had tried to do some sort of cobble repair on. No problems.
