I was just wondering....if I had a helicoil done, would I need to replace the block? The previous owner had a spark plug flew out so a helicoil was done. Jw because im planning on adding a turbo just for kicks and planning to rebuild everything and this is something I want to replace.

well... if it was the spark plug it would not be the block that you would have to replace.. it would be the head.. and that would be only if the helicoil does not hold. i don't know about the spark plug area.. but most of the time if i strip the threads on anything to the point that i would have to put a helicoil in, i just drill it out and re-tap it for a slightly bigger bolt. or in the case of it being two flanges, i just clean the threads out, and push the bolt through, and put a nut and washer on the other side.. (or even weld on in, if need be)...
