400/4 spark plug helicoil

Harold 400/4:
Looking to sort the plug threads on my 400/4. From past posts, helicoils look to be the way to go.
I have read the inserts can come out when you take the plugs out?? Has anyone had any issues with helicoils?
Many thanks
Harold.

Had one done on my CB175K6 back in the day. It was perfectly fine afterwards - good as new

My Guzzi is full of them not been an issue yet.  :)

A Wurth insert or sometimes called a timesert is better, it's like a metal tube that's threaded inside and out. Offers better heat dissipation as well.
