hi im after a py block as i was given the wrong head bolts and knackered the threads, i feel like a tit for not checking them first! but its done now so if you have a block send me the mileage,condishion and price :)
Isn't it anything you can get re-threaded?
with the amount of force that goes on the thread i dont think so im going to look in to it but i have another head so i was going to get a new block get my car back on the road then try sort this one out :-\
if you aren't happy with a helicoil (speak to a machine shop about force it'd take) you could always look to get oversized bolts and get the head drilled out (1ws use bigger bolts) - might be cheaper - or get someone to plug weld the stripped thread and rethread?
i spoke to a company today they said the helicoils will be fine so im going to go with that at £150
the parts place i got the head bolts from are paying £125 so its all good :)
£150!!! is that to helicoil all 10 bolt holes?
yes pal all ten :)
Did you shag all ten? If so good effort.
no just 2! getting them all done as i dont want to put it back together and have another one go on me
