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 |

have you forgotten about that "little" thing called gravity?? (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/biggrin.gif) it's going to be tough to fill up a hole upside down depending on the size of the helicoil, you can put in an oversized helicoil....studs are available with a larger diameter thread on the one end...I think normal is 8mm x 8mm, and I think 8mm x 9mm or 8mm x 10mm studs can be found. |
