Interesting publication. I did not know that both Nissan and Toyota are still producing straight six engines.

[Thomas Mehrkam] Another option is a timesert.?? This is what I have used to repair blown sparkplugs in mu 2001 Ford V10. The timesert is much better than a hellicoil in this application.

A discussion of helicoil vs timesert in repairing stripped head bolts.?? PS the tooling for the timesert is more expensive than for the helicoil.
