oil cooler thread repair - the sequel...

I wasn't too sure about the thread repair, so I borrowed a Helicoil repair set:

... and inserted a helicoil insert, now I feel safe:

this will last forever!

and here another pic of the oil cooler adaptor with the M6/M8 bolts already inserted and loctite'd:
