Well, in order to make myself look like an idiot, I have to say, "I don't know...."

I don't have the package anymore unfortunately, and all I know is that the guys at the parts stores all told me to use RED loctite to keep it held into place, and now I'm ticked that this has happened. I really took a lot of care and patience in doing that helicoil, and even waited to drink a beer until after I'd done it, to make sure I didn't screw up! And now when I look at it, it seems as if the cylinder head has eroded a bit and caused damage.

Oh well, two weeks and counting till I bring that sexy 636 home!
