Thanks for the info on the studs.
Yes helicoils work, I have used them a couple of times before. My engine won't be installed for awhile so I have not yet installed and torqued the header bolts. I bought a kit on Amazon with several sizes of helicoils including the proper drill bits and tools needed for the installation.
