Helicoiling is always an option. Either that or the 03 heads.

When you put in Helicoils you will have to use 3/4" reach coils as the entire length of the plug hole will be tapped for them.

Be sure your plugs, from then on, have a full length thread.

I have the solid inserts and was told once those are in thats it. If you go with the spring type, I was told if something happens down the road that the solids could then be installed. I say this is cause of detonation I almost burned a helicoil too bad. I would go with the spring type if I could. Good luck on your bottom end. Your porting those heads right?
