why don't people like helicoiled bolt holes in intakes

I don’t get it either. I suppose some peeps want an untouched item? Yet some of those same peeps complain when an untouched intake (that’s over 40 years old) is being sold for a fortune.

I bought a LD4B intake a few years ago that was in great shape except one of the thermostat threads needed to be hélicoïded. I had both thermostat threads hélicoïded before I installed it and am actually more content with that since the odds of me removing the thermostat down the road is likely.
