Rocker Shaft Securing Bolt Issue threads pulled.

[Disco Dragon]

Can any one help .

I have just done my head gasket and it has gone ok till I fitted the rocker cover and it looks like the centre bolt has pulled the threads.

So I'm looking for a helicoil insert for the centre rocker shaft securing bolt.

What size and a good place to but it from.

Happend to me on the way back from North Wales at 60mph.

Got my helicoil kit from Machinemart in Liverpool, cost about £25 its M8 x 1.25mm

Think the kit was called Armacoil included the drill bit and tapper

Good news it's only the bolt sheared. Got the rest of it out of the head so only got to get some new bolts all going well.
