Mitchell Posted August 9, 2015 Share Posted August 9, 2015 Basically its been blowing from my manifold to my head, so I've had it off too clean it up an try to sort it, putting it all back together an I have ripped the threads out on the head, I'm gonna have to retap the threads, anybody know if I will be able to retap it to the m10 size again or will I have to go m11? An also where I could get a replacement bolt in either size? Thanks in advance Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Ollieh17 Posted August 9, 2015 Share Posted August 9, 2015 i had to do the same mate, will need to m12. you could then use a thread insert or just use a bigger bolt Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Mitchell Posted August 10, 2015 Author Share Posted August 10, 2015 So if I put an m12 heli in it, will my standard m10 stud fit it? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
pdg190 Posted August 10, 2015 Share Posted August 10, 2015 (edited) You need an M10 helicoil bud, it is 12mm ext diameter but by description an M10. Drill out to 10.4. Tap the hole M12x1.5 (non standard pitch for M12 so be careful). Screw in the insert. Punch the tang off. Job done. Edited August 10, 2015 by pdg190 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
