I would suggest looking into Time - Sert- Thread repair kits. They are available in both sae and metric in most all common sizes. These are actually when installed stronger then a tap and thread hole.

IMO the better way is what Steve has suggested. Drilling and tapping on the cast aluminum may result in a bigger problem then what has already happened.

I can only assume on a time - sert you want to use a sealant on the insert?
Also in what ways are a heli coil unreliable? I've heard of them working before. Never used one. But I've heard mixed thoughts. Last edited by Flash619; 26 Mar 2015 at 11:50 am. |

A helicoil needs to have some threads left in order to have strength. They are a good field bandage
![]() ![]() A Time Sert is a complete unit that is usually stronger then the original threaded hole in most materials used on production vehicles. It is also is a permanent repair. . ![]() |
