I don't think you should be concerned about a few ounces of water in the oil as far as engine damage is concerned. First of all 6 oz. is not much and water is slippery too. Heli-coil will work and there's really nothing to it. I would replace the head gasket with a new one, from the dealer if possible. I've had aftermarket head gaskets that just didn't work no matter what. Also be sure all threads of studs or bolts are lubricated and clean before torqueing; be sure the torque applied is stretching the stud and not just overcoming friction in the threads. Cheer up.
