I doubt you'll get a locktite product to hold as well. IMHO.

Hey thanks. I was going to use that, but the cylinder head itself now has a bit of damage, so I'm going to have to try and repair the hole in order to reinsert that helicoil. So now it's lookin' like I'm gonna use the QuickSteel since it says it permanently bonds to Aluminum, brass, copper, steel, etc. It says Great for marine use, and fixing motors and cracked manifolds so I'm gonna at least try it, what have I got to lose at this point, ya know? I'll sell the brat as a parts bike if I have to.........
