AdamB Posted June 9, 2016 Share Posted June 9, 2016 What's it for? Steel and Alloys have different expansion rates, so if its for a part that gets hot thats something to consider. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
5e colin Posted June 9, 2016 Author Share Posted June 9, 2016 for an aluminium head adam i fucked up a helicoil for fuck sake dont know how i managed to do that thread was pulled out bolt was spinning in its thread so i did a helicoil job and fucked up inserting the bolt in the coil making a mes of it now cant get new bolt in it Quote Link to post Share on other sites
triple j Posted June 9, 2016 Share Posted June 9, 2016 The block is cast I would be sticking with the steel. U could even strip it with the bolt when u torque it, if it doesn't happen then it will if u ever have to take it out again. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
5e colin Posted June 10, 2016 Author Share Posted June 10, 2016 J it is to go in aluminium not the headbolt Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Johnboy GT Posted June 10, 2016 Share Posted June 10, 2016 You can pull the helicoil out, re dress it with the tap and try again Colin? John Quote Link to post Share on other sites
5e colin Posted June 10, 2016 Author Share Posted June 10, 2016 how do you get it out john ??? thanks for tip Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Johnboy GT Posted June 11, 2016 Share Posted June 11, 2016 See the start of the helicoil at the top, flick it outwards with a screw driver so it's covering the hole, long nose pliers and pull it out, it'll come out like a spring. Not a problem budJohn Quote Link to post Share on other sites
