I can recomend a Helicoil fix, it really will work. It would be ideal if you
could find someone who has done this before, as Pragmatist says, if you get
the drilling wrong it is pretty much knackered.
I once tried to persuade a spark plug to stay in a head with some metal
'glue'. It would regularly fly out at great speed. Never lost it as the
spark plug cable was on nice and tight :0)
