A helicoil kit will come with directions, special size drill bit, special size tap, helicoil install tool and the helicoil. First you drill out the hole with the drill supplied, tap the new hole with tap supplied, screw in the helicoil with supplied tool then snap off remaining tab and yes some metal ends up in the cylinder. If the metal scraps are steel you can withdraw most of it with a magnet if it's aluminum they will have to pass thru the system on their own.
Crisco smeared in the flutes of the tap will trap most of the metal shaving.

DO NOT under any circumstances try to install a helicoil. Check with the machine shops or auto repair shops and find someone that is familar with BIG SERT. It is a special insert that is inserted into the spark plug hole. It is much more heavy duty than a helicoil. It requires special tools provided with the repair kit. The cost should be around $200.00 to $225.00. The spark plug and coil would be extra. It beats the cost of replacing the cylinder head.

Many auto parts stores sell a helicoil thread insert kit that will replace the damaged or missing threads. The kit should include an installation tool that will reach down into where the spark plug was removed. The kit will have instructions on enlarging the stripped hole and creating new threads for the helicoil or steel insert. A new spark plug should thread directly into the new thread insert.
