Going to helicoil my block but worried about shavings - Zilvia.net Forums | Nissan 240SX (Silvia) and Z (Fairlady) Car Forum

I installed ss turbo lines however they were leaking so I pulled everything off and used copper washers this time. When putting everything back, I noticed the oil feed in the block was somehow stripped now. After doing some searching it seems helicoil is my best bet (since im sure ill be upgrading turbo at some point). The only thing I worry about is getting shavings inside the block. What can I do to avoid this as much as possible and if its unavoidable, what can I do to get them out? Does the hole simply dump everything in the oil pan where my magnetic drain bolt will catch it along with the oil filter?
