As the title suggest I need a place that will redo a few studs on my cylinder.

There is also "inserts" that hold much better than HeliCoils but take up more space.

Helicoils seem to be working so far. It was idling really high so I was using the kill switch to stall it then let it rev up until it warmed up. It still idles a little high when it's warmed up but I was able to ride it around the yard a little bit. Adjusting the idle speed screw didn't appear to do anything but i'm also using the old head gasket as the new one isn't here yet and I didn't want to put the new one on if the helicoils weren't going to hold. A few drops of water were coming out of the gasket so I know it's not sealing properly. Also waiting on the exhuast gasket since it only has the orings and isn't sealing proper.
