Have you tried to just clean the threads with a tap first?

You can coat the tap with heavy grease to catch any shavings from entering the cylinder.

An insert repair indicates completely stripped/missing thread's which is unlikely, usually they are just damaged and need restoration with a tap.

A helicoil or timesert repair should be done with the head off, too many possibilities of not catching all the debris.
