Default I'm an idiot...

Okay guys, I admit it, I was an idiot and didnt pay the proper amount of attention when reinstalling my frame slider. The story ends with me stripping out the engine side. The bolt isnt stuck inside, and I even have the handy dandy coil of aluminum from my fuck up, but now I gotta fix this before I head to the Dragon in a few weeks.

After talking to several people, it looks like my best and easiest option at this point in time is to tap in a helocoil (sp) and put the bolt back in.

Anyone have any tips or experience in dealing with this issue and the repairs needed?

(I dont have time or cash to get the hole redone at this point, and I am not in favor of just drilling another hole.)
