Just wanted to finish this thread and say that I successfully fixed the stud. Having never done it before, it took way longer than it should have but I did not want to damage the hole and have never drilled into an engine block before. I also do not have welding equipment so those options were not available when removing the broken stud. I did use a Helicoil and it seems to be fine but I can see how Timesert would be better. Anyway, if anyone is hesitant to do this, it can be done and is easier than it seems. The most important part is to make sure everything is drilled straight and square. And if you get frustrated, just walk away and come back the next day. Now to repair the bent valve..............................

Which timesert exactly did you use? I contacted them and they sent me a generic list of questions like: -how deep is the hole -how deep to the first starting thread

Since that stud hole had already been repaired with a heli-coil I used a BIG-SERT Kit number 5761 - 7/16-14 and used the 0.6 inch long inserts that came with the kit. I also ordered and used the tap guide number 57655. I got all of my Time-Sert kits, guides, and extra inserts from BelMetric.com.
