There is no need to remove the head to install a Timesert. #8 isn't easy, but it's nowhere near as hard as #4 is.

Find a shop with the right tools and the repair should cost $200-300 (or less). Call around an ask for either the TimeSert or CalVan (SnapOn) capability. Do NOT allow a helicoil or Dorman kit to be installed.
