Issue: I seemed to have stripped the threads for the CCT bolt, inside the cylinder head aluminum casing. Once the tension bar is in the cylinder head with the spring, I tighten the CCT bolt into the bar, but, the bolt spins and spins and never locks the tension bar into place. It just shoots the bar and spring across the room instead.

Can I helicoil or time sert the cylinder head casing? Does anyone know what size I would use?
Honda part # 90009315000
I have a spare engine for this bike, I could use the cylinder head off of... but, I JUST rebuilt this cylinder head with all new valves, seals, and guides.
Story:
Today, I finally got the motivation to strip down the old bike after 2 years of it sitting in the garage.
4-5 years ago, I destroyed the engine of this bike by taking it on highway. Burned a hole clean threw the piston. I had it completely rebuilt with NOS parts. I had a engine shop put the piston rings on.
Engine ran alright after the rebuild, but, billowed white smoke out of exhaust. (3-4 years ago at this point.) I took engine back apart. Found the engine shop put a piston ring on upside down.
I put it all back together after fixing the shops mistake (don't really blame them, they build modern 1000 HP V8's for race cars... not little old hondas!
they were nice enough to buy special tools to do my valve guides)
I tried starting the bike for the first time (again) and after the engine turned and turned from the starter.. I heard just... parts flying around in the engine. I threw it back in the garage where it sat for almost 3 years until today.
Today I discovered those parts flying around in the engine were the cam chain tensioner bar and spring! found them at the bottom of the engine. Hurray! now i cant put it back together. Yarruh!!
