Isn't that the same thing drill it out rethread it install heli coil not concerned about it havin factory boltNo Sir !! You will regret doing that !! Heli Coil is hands down your best option ! Helicoil you will be able to use your factory bolt !!
Also with the Heli-coil use a dab of RTV to seal the bolt
The helicoil kit comes with the correct tap to install the helicoil! You will take that tap and tap out the hole! Then insert the helicoil .. Now your hole will be back to original size ! Quick easy and safe !!Isn't that the same thing drill it out rethread it install heli coil not concerned about it havin factory bolt
