Default help me!

I have a gsr block with stripped threads for the head bolts.

I wanted to know if there is a helicoil kit that can be used, one w/enough threads.

Or if a machine shop can fix this??? Threaded inserts???
thanks for the help

I've done alot of helicoil. If you are confident and really careful
you can do it. I buy my set at Napa. It is also useful to have the tap to try out intead of the bolt. Same size tap as the original bolt. Then you have to buy a drill bit for the helicoil. It normally says it on the helicoil tap what size drill bit you need
