Gunslinger, what size helicoil did you use?

I was planning on pulling the bolt and going to a hardware store tomorrow to figure out the exact size/thread pitch etc, so I can buy the right helicoil kit.

bikebandit tells me it's a 6x37 bolt, but that isn't enough info (http://www.bikebandit.com/houseofmotorcycles/1981-honda-cb750k/o/m2003#sch31465).

Oh, and I can definitely get the valve cover off while it's in the frame.  I have to do that to check the valve clearances.
