Helicoil will work.. the problem is getting the 'Spring' to stay put when starting and removing the bolt.. I've worked with both the insert type and the Helicoil type.. and if it absolutely has to work and not screw up EVER.. use an insert like the Timesert..
As per the Book.. the Short bolt for the Passenger Side should be front of engine, on the Exhaust Side ( #1 Exhaust Front ).. the other short bolt should be Drivers Side Upper Rear at the Intake.. or #6 at the Intake Side..
You said you had a short bolt in the Middle Somewhere.. It did not belong there..
