Re: Stuck Head
Looks like I crossed posts with Ed.
If anyone out there is contemplating putting in helicoils, use an old scrap head to get the inserts in the right locations and vertical. Bolt the head down in a couple places and drill out the holes in the head to suit. The proper way is to use a mill and move the block to the exact correct position for each location. But if you do not have a mill the old head is the next best thing.
