Hi Barry, I had the same thought, the gauge went around to 140 + before I was able to pull over safely.
The right side of the engine all looks fine.
That's the only reason I can imagine why the Helicoils would pull out.
The engine was running fine other than hot, I wonder if the rocker shaft pulled after I stopped?
I'm thinking that that maybe a new bare head casting may be the sensible way to go rather try a risky repair on a head that may now be soft?
