 Rather than Helicoils, you might wish to consider threaded inserts -- same basic idea but solid metal bushings rather than spiral coils that might be a bit more likely to leak. or, worse, shatter on the combustion chamber end and fall into the engine.  See

for further information.  Usual disclaimers, haven't tried these myself, etc.
