    Repairing stripped thread video

    Hi folks,

    After replacing the top end seals on my 79 GS850, I noticed 1 of the theads to clamp the cam shaft was really bad. And sure enough, when trying to torque it down, it stripped
    So I bought a thread repair kit and put a camara next to it, maybe interesting for others to see. Im not a pro mechanic, so any tips/corrections are welcome !

    PS bonuspoints for the one who knows the music, its from the same era as the bike

              Take the shop vac hose in from an opposite side of the hole to be drilled and have it sucking the chips up as they come off the flutes...much tidier job and less clean up afterwards. Also have it sucking as you clean the threads with parts cleaner or carb spray to suck the flushed out chips before they can drop over the edge.

              I always clean them with a cleaner so there is no oily residue and the loctite sticks to the new threads better..least it seems that way. Then i shop vac the hole.


              Did you apply any high temp loctite to the insert ( which looked like a Timesert)?

              Just a few suggestions...not bashing the video or the repair. Always nice when you can repair it yourself and not get bent over by the machine shops.

                Thanks for the tips folks ! And yes, thats the theme from Phantasm from 1979

                After drilling and seeing all that debris I spent quite some time to clean it up. I sneaked into the house and "borrowed" the vacuum cleaner

                  HA HA bet she was wondering what the heck you wanted it for!!

                  I have a 16 gallon Craftsman wet / dry that does a awesome job. Those pesky chips are a clean up nightmare at times.

                    Great video. The next time a bolt brakes in there again (two have already broken) I'll have the nerve to do it myself instead of the machine shop. Never seen one of the those drill extensions before.

                      A 90 degree angled head drill will be of great value here too!!!
