Ok to helicoil where the headstuds go?
I was installing my head on my block today and one of the threads in the block stripped out. Can I helicoil this or is that a bad idea?

Oh and can I reuse my headgasket? I had the head torqued down to 30 ft-lbs and then had 6 of the headstuds torqued to 50 ft-lbs...doing it in increments. As soon as the thing stripped we pulled the head so would it still be ok to use that head gasket?
