I'll be using this to fix my head tomorrow, as I have a stripped thread. Hopefully some of you will be able to put this to good use. Helicoil kits can be found at any Ace Hardware. :thumbup:

Nice, hopefully it'll hold good.

I repair a jack up thread on my manifold using helicoil. basically drill the hole one size bigger and than insert the helicoil. I needed to fix one mess up thread but end up buying a pack of 10 helicoil. They don't sell one so I'm stuck with 9 left.

Why not just replace the rest? I'll probably be replacing all 9 when I go to do this tomorrow. ;)
