If the inserts have been torn out, I'd recommend using Helicoil(TM) inserts
to repair the head. These are also available in oversizes where damage
has occurred. It wouldn't be a bad idea to leave the actual repair to
a machine shop, though.

"We, too, who look upon the loom are deafened; and only when we escape it
shall we hear the thousand voices that speak through it.... Ah, mortal!
then, be heedful; for so, in all this din of the great world's loom, thy
subtlest thinkings may be overheard afar." - Herman Melville, _Moby Dick_
