So i noticed a slight hissing sound and found that one of my header stud came loose and fell out. This was previously stripped and i was just trying to avoid it as long as possible. Now its completely stripped and will need a helicoil insert. does anyone have a set they can help me, or any tips would also help alot.
only tip i have is JB weld the outside the insert shove it in put some tape over it and let sit for 24 hours.
I have the kit for this exact problem. The thread came out with one of my manifold studs when I was doing my headgaskets. I still have like 8 inserts, the drill-bit/tap, and install tool. I would highly suggest doing the JB weld method as mine came out again after a few removals. Just be careful when drilling, you don't want to get into a water jacket. You can borrow the kit if you want, PM me for contact info.
thanks, i will be in contact when im ready to work on it. I saw a video where a guy used loctite. would u guys recommend jb weld over that?
