What size helicoils did you use? I can't seem to figure out what the thread is for the valve cover bolts.

did the bolts screw into the helicoil thread smoothly with the cover on? I ask because my bolt is going in rough on the helocoils@@zevisgarage

@@drigocrews the first one I fixed worked well off the bat. The 2nd one I did where I had to stack the helicoils took several attempts to get it to work correctly. The valve cover is tight enough to seal but that specific corner I wouldn’t go crazy tightening, no one should ever have to stack 3 helicoils as it won’t work well One or 2 seems fair and like a decent repair
