    I would think a proper rethread would be a better option than that helicoil stuff?

    Kelly engineering in Midleton should do anything you ask them, but they are not cheap.

    A helicoil has to be replaced each time you screw in/out. A much better option is a 'threaded insert'. Do a google on it and you'll find out what that is. Kennedy's engine rebuilders next to Union Chandlery on Penrose Quay sell them, and can install them too. They'd be one of the few places I'd trust to do it.
