Any suggestions. Heli coils are not available in the correct thread size I have been told. [/B][/QUOTE]

Heli coils are produced in the 1/4-32 size but it is my understanding that due to little demand that they are not packaged in consumer size kits but the installation tool and coils are only sold in industrial kits with bulk coils and this is at a cost much more than a new engine. This is probably why Mr. Lee has enjoyed such a thriving business over the years doing this. Your best bet is to get ahold of him and if I remember correctly he only charges about ten dollars a hole.
