Are you sure it's a helicoil and not just the aluminium thread that have pulled out of the head?
Helicoils are hard steel and don't just fall out unless badly done, as Mark stated.

inlet valves are $29.14 each &
Exhaust valves are$47.36 each on the coswort.com shop
If you put that into pounds its blooooody expensive.
Best bet might be to contact the breakers, look for scrap heads to buy valves from, ebay etc...
Good luck, feel for you mate.

I've found that life I needed.. It's HERE!!
and i would recomend not the helicoils...but wurth"s kit called timesert.they are like metal sleeves with threads on..and they are bulletproof.at least thats my experience.
good luck with the repair.

i had the same problem blaming sh1te helicoils on my cam shaft journal studs....
the helicoil is on the right by tghe way, the bit on the left is the stripped ali threat that came out most of the exhaust side studs, looks just like a helcoil,
and as said above, a correctly fitted heli coil is actually much much stonger than the original taped hole

Only use Timeserts - far far better than helicoils
I just had my cylinder head overhauled.
8 new exhaust valves (the inlet valves were perfect)
16 new guides
16 new seals
Face skimmed a couple of thou
Cost about £450 in total to make it like new again
