D Murton Posted July 29, 2010 Report Share Posted July 29, 2010 Laurance Take the head off & take it to a competant machine shop You can't do it with the head on. The hole needs to be cleaned out to the correct size for the helcoil tap. Then the hole is retapped & the helicoil insert screwwd in & the tang broken off the bottom of the insert. You can do it yourself but you will need to buy the the insertion tool or find someone who has one. Dave Quote Link to post Share on other sites
