And people say time serts are the best...
They do make oversized timeserts.. Give that a try. When you cut the new treads use Tapmagic aluminum cutting fluid.. The main reason for either a timesert or helicoil failing is improper cut threads.

I agree with Mr. M. I would give it a go again with a slight over sized Sert. I would also use red Loc-tite, or one of the help will free over first heavy duty loc-tites. I can't remember the #, but can get it for you if you want. There is one that is the true FOREVER bastard of all loc-tites.
