Product Information

We can cut through various soft materials such as aluminium, magnesium, cast iron, bronze, etc. As we use light weight and soft materials for parts nowadays, it can cause more damage to the threads. Installation Tool - This is a marker to identify the depth of the hole needed to be threaded, it also holds the new insert, so this can be screwed into the hole. Restore stripped threads easily and permanently with Heli-Coil ® thread repair kits and master sets. Heli-Coil ® application-specific thread repair kits make complex repairs manageable and are often the recommended solution by both domestic and foreign automakers. TOP TIP: To avoid the fancy tool, a simple and cost effective way to know how far to drill out a damaged thread is to measure the depth of the hole and mark this on the drill. You can use tape around the drill bit so you know where you need to drill to. You may want to use a vice to hold parts in place.

These inserts serve as threaded bushings or inserts that are inserted into a surface to establish a threaded hole. This could be that the thread is damaged caused by parts contracting a lot of vibration, fastening too tightly or placing at an angle where the threads can get destroyed. Having a part that cannot be fitted correctly can cause major issues. We can Re-thread bolts and screw holes using helicoil kits, for numerous parts and machines. A: Yes, it is possible to Helicoil a stripped spark plug hole in an aluminum cylinder head. However, it is important to use caution and follow the proper procedures to avoid any further damage to the cylinder head. It is highly recommended to consult a professional mechanic with experience in repairing stripped spark plug holes in aluminum cylinder heads. Q: How long does it take to Helicoil damaged spark plug threads?

What is a Helicoil Kit and why do we use them?

A: If the threads in your spark plug hole are damaged or stripped, it can cause the spark plug to become loose or not fit properly. This can lead to poor engine performance and can even cause damage to the cylinder head. Helicoiling the damaged threads can provide a secure and properly threaded hole for the spark plug. Q: How do I know if I need to Helicoil my spark plug threads?

Thanks for the info ratman. Do you know which size and depth to go for, that’s what I’m not sure of? Drill Bit - This part enables us to drill out the damaged threads, as a starting position to create a new threaded hole. Before you begin to repair the threads on spark plugs, make sure all valves inside the cylinder are closed. Otherwise, when working on damaged spark plug threads, metal shavings could fall down into the cylinder and contaminate everything. This step is essential to avoid this situation. If the spark plug can’t move, it’s less likely that the gas is going to get burned out of both ends before it fires.The affected vehicles include the 2013-2015 Ford Fiesta, 2013-2015 Ford C-MAX, 2013-2015 Ford Escape, and 2014-2015 Ford Fusion. Depending on the application, Helicoil repairs may not be suitable for high-temperature or corrosive environments. Bearing in mind I have only done spark plug threads on aluminium car engines; if there is a bit of build up on the bottom of the helicoil and you put a fresh spark plug in it can drive the helicoil further in but it is unlikely to pull it out as you unwind it as that tends to spread the helicoil against its outer thread. For this reason I did not pass the helicoil tap all the way down in the head, so the helicoil bottomed out on the uncut bit.
