i have a 22re that i was putting a new head on and i had a head bolt strip out, my cousin has done a lot of heli coils so i let him do it and it looked straight but he didnt tap it out straight and no when i try to put the head bolt in the heli coil just rips the treads off the bolts, the bottem end only has about 3000 on it and is perfect but would it be more trouble welding and retapping this bolt or just getting a new block, i have no idea what to do here i just need this thing back on the road
 
seems a lot like a helicoil, would this thing work since a helicoil has already been put in but it was put in at a slight angle so that the head bolt does not go into the block straight
