is it okay to timesert this holes and boost the block? it will be resleeved of course.

 

If you're going to sleeve it, why not just buy a new bare block for 50 bucks?

Absolutely. If he's sleeving he doesn't need a perfect block. I helped a friend nab a C1 block for 40 bucks with cracked sleeves at the top. No rotating assy., no oil pump, water pump, etc, etc, but it was perfectly fine for sleeving.

 

But not w/ a screwed up head stud thread.

 

so is it ok to timesert these threads and still boost?

 

I'm sure you can. I don't see why not.
