So I stripped the threads on the block for one of my head bolts. I am buying a Time-Sert thread repairing kit, but I don't know if I need the 24.5mm (Depth) inserts or the 30mm inserts. Anyone want to shed some light on which one I should get?

Well, you should be able to measure one of the old head bolts, then just subtract the depth of the head, and that will give you your answer.

More is better, Measure the OE hole minus 1-2mm and thats your drill distance, tap it, insure heli-coil, and get your head game on.
