Sorry, in my head I'm still 21 (which explains why I'm such a douche) but actual age is 51 according to records.... Bull poo. I'm 21 o_O

Oh to be only 51, I'm 75, involved in a major house restoration and playing with P38's when I have time and cash to spare (not much of either at the moment) plus I have to cut and split our supply of winter logs

So we we are both qualified and time served mechanical and production engineers but admittedly i only have 31 years experience with the last 24 years spent as a tooling engineer, I see your point.
I shall take myself away now as i don't want to litter this thread with anymore of my attention seeking.

very experienced as you may be you havent done many helicoil repairs it seems
 
Not really , i only used to work for an agent for Armstrong and also Recoil and worked closely with their technical engineer to demonstrate their capabilities but this was for an aerospace company looking to use them on new high precision components to improve the strength of the aluminum threads. I have only done them myself in a garage environment a few times and it really isn't that complicated. The point i originally made about making up some sort of support to help drill the hole accurately was due to the very difficult environment which is redundant anyway as i would use the dedicated tool i found online during my career as a 'google engineer' or remove the head.
If you want to carry on this weeing up the wall competition then i would pick a different subject if i was you.

I don't know, I'm away for a while and your already arguing and got your cock out.:rolleyes::D
 
To my untrained eye there looks to be very little room, i doubt anyone could helicoil and/or re-thread anything with such limited space.. ;)

you started the insults,it is a simple job,if youve had so much experience youd know your only drilling the old thread out and so drill follows the hole,apart from the rigmarole of making a jig in an awkward space your going to have to ensure its properly centered etc ,easy enough on a machine bed but not only is it not necessary with a helicoil its adding a greater risk
 
You win first prize for talking utter ****e, and if you want to see where the insults started trying looking back over the thread. And all the time your arse is pointing south a 2 flute drill will not follow a hole that is already there unless you point it in the right direction.

I had a set from Wurth,that used the existing hole, you just retapped it to take the replacement insert.plenty of grease on the tap to collect the swarf and a sharp rap with a hammer to centralize it.wind it in with a socket to cut the new thread remove the tap and spray with carb cleaner.turn the engine over to blow out any crap.screw in the new insert with a coating of loctite,break off the installing tail.job done.cannot post a photo because I cannot remember who borrowed the kit.
 
Yep, that is exactly what we said about 20 posts ago mate. i made a comment about maybe making a jig up located off the other two spark holes to help with drilling alignment in the difficult situation before finding the tool you are talking about.
