Exactly what I had mentioned.
Install a hela coil and repair those damaged threads.
Problem solved.

Well, talked to the wrench today. He says one of the bolts has pulled out of the engine case. The last time it pulled a couple of threads so he locktited it. It evidently did not hold, RATS!!!!!!!!!
helicoil both bolts, so you don't have to go back in like I did when the second one pulled.

Did the warm up/cool down cycles get done properly.Did anyone check to see if the cylinder spigot has started to move up?

I certainly would hope that this repair will be at no charge?? If not, find yourself another wrench .

Look for any grooves worn into the gasket surface on both the head and cylinder even though the faulty stud threads have been found.....if a head gasket leaks enough a groove can get cut into either surface.
