stripped threads on cylinder head

stripped threads on cylinder head

Unfortunately the threads on 2 of the 8 bolts holding the cams are stripped on the RMZ 450 engine I’m working on. The bolts themselves are fine, its the threaded holes in the head itself that have stripped. I’m just wondering what are my options – helicoil insert is the first thing that springs to mind, I’ve never had to use them before, are they hard to use? Or is there anywhere in Dublin that would do the work for me for me at a reasonable cost?
