I stripped a head bolt on my buddies BMW K-1000 will going through the torque sequence to the letter....So I can sympathize. We used a helicoil and didn't like the feel of it. The fit of the thread was quite sloppy. My guess the drill wandering around made the hole more over sized than it should be never mind geometrics. The bolt did develop full torque though. I didn't know about timecert until now.
