| Subject: | More fun with rebuilt engines |
I attempted to unbugger a couple of spark plug holes on my rebuilt engine (not
yet run) using a chip chaser. It's obvious that a couple of holes need new heli-coils
as the chip chaser wouldn't go in easily and some of the heli-coil came
out.
Any advice on how to proceed? I've not done this sort of thing before and like
most things I'm sure it's not a big deal the second time around.
There's a Lyco SB 1043A on heli-coil replacement, but I haven't been able to find
it using internet search.
This link has a couple of repair kit options (some are expen$sive). http://www.skygeek.com/heli-coil-screw-thread-inserts.html
Regards,
Jay

I think most chip chasers are generally not recommended for this use. For next
time, Snap-On (who else?) makes a very special tool for cleaning out spark plug
helicoils. You turn an internal bolt and the whole thing collapses inwards.
You can then insert it into the cylinder, turn the bolt the other way and expand
it back out, then clean the threads from inside to the outside as you screw
it out. This works when it's the outside of the hole that's the problem (as from
cross threading and forcing plugs in). It also carries the gunk out of the
cylinder, instead of into it.
I've never removed a helicoil myself, but cylinder shops do this all the time.
And yes, there are special insertion tools for putting in new ones. The one thing
I do know is that when you're all done and break off the insertion tang, you
want to be sure there is no sharp point left on the inside, where it could
act as a glow plug and cause pre-ignition.

I don't have extended range tanks - and 12,500 miles would be a bit of a
stretch even if I did ;-<

I'll be there from Thursday onwards with my wife (first time Osh for her).
Would it be OK to find some rest in the HQ since my wife broke her foot 4 days
ago).
Is there any need for Swiss chocolate or other stuff which I can easily bring from
Switzerland for you guys?
Cheers
