In this one: Helicoil Fix with part numbers I just followed it exactly to fix the stripped bolts on the valvecover...The new replacement threads are stainless steel...very nice. The kit was $45 and came with enough threads to do 10 bolts. Refills are only $7 or something. 2002 Porsche 911 Silver 2006 BMW 325XIT Black *2003 BMW 325i Silver

I ended up breaking the drill bit in the hole. I was able to get the broken piece out and still tap it for the helicoil. It work greats and NO LEAKS!
