I used to race a Spit, and we had to remove the a lot
for maint & R/R.

I have repaired lots of these sealing blocks in many
ways, with oversize bolts, studs, epoxy (JB Weld),
etc.

The heli-coil is a permanant solution. (assuming you
do not overtighten too much). 

If you have the motor apart, it's good preventative
step to just HC these anyway. They will strip
eventually.
