They can be helicoiled bu you may want to look out for a cheap 2nd hand one instead... If you pay some one to do it it wont be far off the price of another head!?

on threads where the bit is uncrewed often ,like a plug, helicoils dont often last , there are insert kits ya can get or a local engineering firm will make ya one ,basically a bit of pipe with a thread on outside n inside thats thread-locked into ya head ,but as above vespaco says easiest/cheapest option is a cruise of flea bay an a good secondhand 1 , H

rab you where right to ask which head ,as gaz asked aswell ,the p200 heads changed through production ,its been discussed on here before an memorys saying the consensus was early p200 1's are the better tune/profile 1's , i think most new ones sold are off the later profile an early ones command a better price on flea bay , all academic now as ya mans got 1 , H
