Agreed, the fact is that the original bolts only pick up a 3rd of the available thread just fit longer bolts. i rarely ever have to helicoil.
a bit of advice too, use a 1/4 drive ratchet and only use 1 hand to do them up, there is no need to be a gorilla it won't leak if tightened gently the o ring seals just fine with minimal bolt tension.
