I was on the phone with the shop owner this morning for an hour and a half the @$$ just kept tellin me the same thing over and over "the warranty only covers internal part involved in the rebuild if one of the mounting bolt holes was stripped out it was like that when I brought it in or I did it myself later on." I gave him a few choice words and hang up! So i'm pretty much stuck in a rutt, with only myself to get me out! Thanks a lot for all the info on the helicoil though!
