<VV> [fastvair] Repair to engine oil pan bolt holes

[jfrost1207 at aol.com]

I have used many types of inserts and prefer the Heliecoil for two reasons. One they go in flush with the surface and two they are Stainless Steel. Another aspect is that different inserts ( Same Thread Size ) require different hole size. Why this is important is that if you use the smaller size first and it would get damaged , it can be replaced with a larger Diameter insert. ( I believe the Timesert and the Helicoil are about the same OD ) Jack Frostvair Garage

Timeserts are the best. 
Simple, easy, all you need is the right drill, tap and installation tool. Recommend these over Helicoils.

Two out of the 19 holes in the block are stripped. Is there a simple way to repair the holes without going to the next size bolt?
