XT AUTO 30pcs Stainless Steel M6 x 1mm Thread Repair Insert Kit Compatible Hand Tool Set for Auto Repairing
Drilling - clear the damaged threads with a standard drill. (to repair a spark plug thread no pre-drilling is necessary if using the special spark plug tap), please pay attention that for fluteless taps bigger holes are required.Checking - check that the thread and pitch of the tap and the bolt match.Tapping - use the special taps for cutting the holding thread into the cleared hole (recommended to use a suitable cutting oil).Install the insert - place insert on installation tool and position the adjustable ring so that the insert tang is centered in the tang slot. Wind the insert in with a light downward pressure until a half turn below the surface. Don't work against the thread direction as the tang could break.Tang removal - After finishing lift the installation tool and use the tang break tool to remove the tang. For bigger sizes and spark plug taps use long nose pliers to remove the tang. Due to the narrow and exact tolerances the new thread normally is stronger than the original ones.

Well I said helicoil but got this assuming it’s an offbrand helicoil. All my nice tap tools are on the opposite coast. Those time sert kits are almost as much as me buying a roached carb just for the bowl

I do have good access to both holes with the rocker cover on. The kit https://www.amazon.com/XT-AUTO-Stainless-Compatible-Repairing/dp/B07KM1RQWP/ref=mp_s_a_1_2?keywords=XT+AUTO+6x1.0+helicoil&qid=1563043221&s=gateway&sr=8-2

Comes with a tap and by the looks of it it's a plug tap with about three or four tapered threads. I have a box of random tapered taps in my house somewhere but I know I definitely don't have a bottoming tap. The whole is a blind hole, or it does not go through the deep end but at the same time I don't know if at 8 foot pounds I need to be extremely worried about getting those last couple threads but for the price of a tap and considering how annoying the repair is I probably should just buy the bottoming tap

I'm in Southern California though I do sincerely appreciate the offer to help me out
