honstly its real hard to tell if a plug has been blown out if fixed properly. that and after the helicoil was put in if done properly you arent going to have any problems from it again. my 00 f150 had on blow out and while i was in there i helicoiled all of them. sold the truck with 350000 on it and didnt have a problem from it the whole time. the plug blew out around 70000 so i would think it held pretty good. yes the torque shift is more disirable but unless your towing alot i wouldnt worry about it to much.

Real courage is found, not in the willingness to risk death, but in the willingness to stand, alone if necessary, against the ignorant and disapproving herd. — Jon Roland, 1976
