No, no. A stack of washers and a fine thread nut will remove the press in studs. Have to use an impact though. Make sure to oil up the threads. Get more than one nut.
Helicoil is a brand name. Call part s stores, industrial supply places, possibly Fastenal.

If you are ordering Pistons, you should be able to get forged Pistons in their kit. Costs more, but worth every penny.

The only engine Iknow of that came with 15 heads was the 1970 455. I did not know 400's came with 15's...anyone?
