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? |
