I am in the process of installing a new FFIM and it looks as though two of my bolts are cross-threaded. I have already done the 7/16" helicoil repair on my exhaust manifold studs offered by Driftmotion. I figured this might be a good time to do the same on the intake side.

Has anyone done a helicoil repair on the intake? If so, what did you go with?

I came across this kit offered by Grainger. Would this be sufficient? It's an M8x1.25 kit.

Any information, or direction is greatly appreciated.

Thanks,
Mo

Obvious to whom? I'm clearly a neophyte when it comes to this topic...hence the original question.

What may be obvious to you, isn't so clear cut to others. This is a forum to help educate people correct? Not make assumptions as to what they 'should' know.

I'd be happy to hear what you have to say on the topic in hopes of learning something new.
