Title: Exhaust stud thread needs Helicoiling
Post by: Etches on November 26, 2013, 07:12:20 PM
One of my studs has pulled the thread out of the head (new studs) , looking at getting it helicoiled . What sort of tool do I need to sort the job? Has anyone done this before?

Any comments are appreciated.

Studs are M8 and one size Helicoil kits are cheap on e-bay. Straightforward job.
