HeliCoil Block
i have all three mmotor mount holes in the block are stripped and i need to helicoil them... i bought the kit but im not sure this is the way to go and i dont know how to do it so i wanna make sure i dont fuck anything up so chime in if you have an opinion or experiance.
the very most important thing is to make sure you drill the holes srtaight!!!! it's kinda hard if the motor's in the car, but if it is ya need to get the motor high enough to get a good straight shot!
next when using the tap make sure ya oil it and dont force it! just turn it 3/4 to 1 1/2 turn then back up 1/2 turn or so to clear out the filings, then go on in a lil further and keep backing it out a lil each time. i use an air line to blow out the filings after each couple of turns. just take your time! when installing the coil just use the tool and run it in till ya have the last threads just inside the hole. hopefully ya drilled n tapped the holes pretty close to the right depth for the helicoil. it wont hurt if it's in a lil bit deeper though. helicoils work great ! i've put in hundreds! lol with all the guys around here strippin out bolts all the time, thank god we got em!!!! lol just take your time and do a good job!
