Why?

Why would you put a helicoil back in? They are junk for engines and such, go with something better. A helicoil will just pull out again. We use them in aircraft but only on parts that dont have a stress load associated with it because it will pull out.
Personally I would get it fixed right so you wont damage other things as a result. But that is just me.
