I was installing an exhaust stud into a heli-coiled cylinder and caused the aluminum to crack around the heli-coil. I was hoping there was a way to repair the aluminum and redrill and tap a new hole?

I came across the following web site and wondered if anyone has used this company's product with success?

New Technology Product

I appreciate any feedback.

Also, if anyone has a heating system, or parts of one. they wish to sell. please let me know. (pre 1975, preferably 1974 1.8L)

THANKS

Rimco (West Coast) charged $60 to weld up, drill and retap the same problem on a head. Any good machine shop should be able to heliarc it up and do the operation.

What heater parts?
