cylinder head exhaust stud came out!

So I was torquing the exhaust manifold to specs (23lb/ft) when one of the studs came out. The threading is completely wiped out inside the hole so I will use a helical insert to rethread it and put back the stud. I can't find what size to order though. Anyone done this before?

OK I found that it is M8x1.25. Ordering the Helicoil 5546-8 thread repair kit.
