I say remove the head because if metal shavings do get in the cylinder head you can clean them out easier. Also when u go back and reasemble it, put some 2 stroke oil in the cylinder so you don't scratch it up.

Personally if it were me I would just remove the engine . Tape off the port except the threaded area. Drill out the old threads . Vacuum the shavings out of the area and the hole. Put some grease on the tap (this will capture the chips from the tap) or use tap oil and re-thread the hole with the tap vacuum again if you used oil ,then install the heli-coil and break off the tang . Make sure to get the tang out of the newly threaded hole .

don't get too worked up about it there's not a lot going on there. Here's a manual. It breaks down the parts for the king motor engine. It's the link at the top of the page.
