You honestly saved me just buying a new engine block because I was so frustrated with my stripped threads and I didn’t want to spend 500 bucks for a repair kit!! Thanks man
I'm so glad I found this video because I had to repair the same engine block thread with my 1991 Acura Integra. Lucky for me, my car's head bolts were M11 x 1.5, so I just accessed your link for the needed tools and followed your procedure, stacking 2 helicoils together. It worked! Thanks for posting!
Professional!!! clean, nice and smooth procedure, brother!! amazing how easy that tap when in!! NICE JOB! Got to the same to a 2005 HD fatboy, this afternoon. my time-sert is for 12mx 1.25 a standard hd spark plug hole ( cars are 14 m x1,25)
Thanks for sharing! I am dealing with a 4 Cly Toyota Camry with stripped out threads on the block. All of the forums always suggest Heli Coils wont work and that they come out and that you have to use Expensive TimeSerts. But then I have read some threads from old school DIY'ers that say if done correctly they will work. Some say a little bit of lock tight on the threads of the helicoil. Good job!

Precious owner snapped one of the head bolts when they “rebuilt” it and sure enough engine got hot and head gasket blew.

Good luck! A new drill bit works wonders in these situations.

After breaking off that second tang, did you go back in and further thread in the helicoil, or left it as is?
Sorry about the late reply - I think I left it as is and it turned naturally to the first helicoil.
Can i use this for a stripped mounting hole on the cradle for the rear motor mount?
Yes! I’ve done it before on a similar hole but on the transmission for the side mount. Just need to grab the correct size helicoil.
