164 Rocker Shaft Bolts - Helicoil Help 140-160

I'm slowly getting my '72 164E back on its feet after the head gasket failed back this winter. I was putting the rocker shaft back on today when I found that no bolt will torque in one of the holes. It looks like it's time for helicoil.
I do not have any experience using helicoil. I have seen it done a few times and am pretty good at following directions. I mainly need to know what size to buy. I don't have a caliper to measure the diameter of the bolt with.
Thanks in advance for your help.
