justa bout had it with this POS

Machine shop put a heli-coil in. I was working on reassembly this AM, and found that the heli-coiled threads must be jacked up slightly because the far end of the stud ends up being 6-7mm out of place...can't get the base gasket on or the cylinder for that matter. What now? I'm not sure its possible to re-do the heli coil at this point. Anyone "been there done that." What are my options?
