That is not necessarily true. If you should be so unlucky as to have a
timesert or even a Helicoil tear out, you can still save the crankcase by
making,.or buying, an oversize insert. For example you can use a 9/16 bolt and
tap the crankcase for it. Then cut off the threaded portion of the bolt to
fit the crankcase depth (e.g.,1 inch) Then drill and tap a hole in the
center of the axial length of the bolt-portion the fit the head stud. Of course
you will have to recut the head stud threads.
Larry Claypool used to sell these upon request....probably still does.

If you do not do that you will tear out the TimeSert from the
block after installation, which trashes the entire block.
