Thanks Bob, but the hole is bored off center from the head bolt, but a regular timesert for 7/16s has a major diameter of .534, which is not large enough to clean up the damage done.

James that was my first thought, but with the hole off center it appears the threads for a 3/4 inch insert would not be covered by the head gasket. do you think that would be a problem?
