Last fall, I misread the manual and overtorqued the bottom cap nuts on the head flange. I finally got the courage to attempt the repair today. I successfully removed the head. But when I attempted to helicoil the damaged threads on the jug, I messed both of them up and now the helicoils are chewing bolts.
Rather than attempt to repair the damaged threads with time-serts ($$$) or some other method, I'm considering just replacing the jug. My engine has about 107k miles on it. What are the chances of a successful outcome if I purchase a used jug and transplant it without changing my piston or rings?
I feel sick....
