If the stud is sheared or broken off and you can get it out without
damaging the threads in the head, then a new stud can go right in, no? If
the stud pulled out of the head instead of broke off, or you have to drill
it out and damage the threads, then a threaded insert like Timesert
(http://www.timesert.com/) is preferred over a helicoil for the repair, I
believe. Much stronger.
