Heli-coil
Where would I be able to pick up some heli coils for a cam cap cover? Any hardware store?

Probably hard to find that size at most hardware stores. Possibly Auto Zone, Advanced Auto parts, or O'Rileys Auto parts. Fastenal should should have them on the shelf1983 GS1100E, 1983 CB1100F, 1991 GSX1100G, 1996 Kaw. ZL600 Eliminator, 1999 Bandit 1200S, 2005 Bandit 1200S, 2000 Kaw. ZRX 1100 -
Yup. Fastenal will be quite a bit more expensive, but the product they sell has a few more coils in it as I recall.Originally posted by rphillips View PostComment

I've bought Heili-Coil kits in two sizes, one for the exhaust flange bolts, and one for the valve cover bolts. Each kit was between $40-50. I got the first one at a machine tool supply shop, and the second one here;
It was a different brand name than Heli-Coil, but still high quality. I liked the insert tool a little better than the Heli-Coil one. If you buy the kit, you get a drill, tap, insert tool, and a number of inserts.
Having the extra inserts is nice, because it will slightly decrease the chances of needing one again.JP
