[Vwdiesel] Cyl head issues

[Val Christian]

Derick,

I can't say where I've seen them, but I HAVE
seen helicoil inserts and taps for VW diesel
injectors.  Hanson is the most likely manufacturer.
I would measure the thread pitch and diameter,
and call them or visit the web to find the right 
tool.

Good luck, but they _do_ exist.
