Andy,
I’d only Heli-coil the offending bolt. It’s pretty rare that the rest of them need such attention.
Most often these strip out because there are too few threads engaged when tightened.

Have any of you STRATUS guys ever had to deal with stripped threads on any of the case bolts? Bought my engine in 2000 and since got it mounted and ran it on the ground a few times. Started flying June 14, 2011. At 42 hours flight time I noticed an oil leak on the lower right side of the engine, from the front looking aft. The oil was coming from the lower case bolt head. Tried to tighten and it did not tighten. Threads stripped in the case, obviously done at STRATUS when the engine was assembled. Has anybody else had this or similar problems. Planning to install a helicoil, but would you go ahead and helicoil all the case bolts or just hope that none of the others strip on reassembly of the engine? Thanks.
