I'm trying to understand your message.
This is the top bolt for the spring loaded/oil filled tensioner that first goes through a curved sheet metal bracket and in through the tensioner piston, right?
And you say that the first inch of threads in the timing cover is fine, right?
How do you know that the threads further in, in the timing cover is bad? And why do you want to run the bolt further in through the timing cover than 1".
Have you broken the original bolt and found a new longer one?
If the timing cover have threads, that means that the bolt doesn't go through the cover and into the engine block. It wouldn't work with having threaded hole on both items.
On the 93 and older engines it was actually a loose bracket bolted onto the engine that top bolt was bolted on to.
So the way I see it you only need to find a little bit shorter bolt and get rid of the extra washers.
If the threads in the timing cover would be stripped all the way out I would buy a kit called Timesert for 8mm holes and repair the hole using those repair sleeves.
That kit is much better and easier to use than Helicoil.
