spark plug helicoil

[Anonymous]

O K, I did it, I stripped the threds on #2 cylinder. How difficult a repair is it to use a helicoil? Any idea what a kit is worth? Can I do this with the head still on? Any ideas on this would be most appreciated, thanks Ric.

#1 Not too difficult.
#2 Under $10.00 for a One repair kit.
#3 Yes, Head on it OK, But use Grease on the tap to prevent shavings
From getting into the Cylinder.
#4 Use Anti-sieze on the Spark plug threads upon reinstallation.
#5 Stare proudly at having done it quick and easy and beat chest!
#6 Ride!!!

Sitck a compressed air nozzle in the tailpipe and make sure #2's exhaust (but not intake) is open so any fragments can be blown back out.

Crank it over with the plug out as well.

After you try the grease, and the commpressed air crank it with the plug still removed. Maybee some sort of fluid would help as well. The cranking will blow out and left overs plus the fluid(messy). Use a rag to catch to mess.

Installed the kit the other day, worked great. The grease on the tap cought most of the shavings, the instructions called for high heat RTV, but I didn't have any, so I used locktight. Seems to be working well.
