Hi Peter
I would be tempted leave well alone ….but….to braze an oversize washer under the head of a cap head bolt. Making sure that the gap between the washer and bolt stem doesn’t fill with braze. Then use a similar size fibre washer over the protruding Helicoil. Hope this makes sense?
I always use a fibre washer/ brazed washer under a cap head bolt on the cam bearing retaining bolt. Seems to give a leak free solution!
Cheers
