Someone (can't remember who right now, sorry) gave me very good advice a
week or so ago when I inquired about my exhaust studs into the heads.  Go
with "keen-sert" or "time-sert" products.  I recall that Keen-sert product
had a whole set for re-doing spark plug holes.  No need to pull the head.
Hope this helps.
