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 you plan to boost it and you are going to get some machine work done, you may find out that you may have to chuck the head anyways.. so perhaps just be proactive about it and just get another head regardless.. and that way you can work on the spare head and have it ready for you slap on the block w/e you get the time to do it.. not to mention a 5SFE is not that hard to come by.. hell many on MR2OC just chuck'em... any keep an eye out on craigs list, you can sometimes find the "taking up room in garage, need this gone, free if you pick up" kind of posts..
