After Thoughts about the Video: Yes, my eyeballomometer is off and I drilled the top hole slightly crooked. There are plenty of techniques I would have utilized if this was a real repair. I do think this is stronger and a more reliable repair than the Heli-coil spring. Use a standard taper tap too allow the repair sleeve to lock in on a blind and thru hole. Grade 5, 8 and higher bolts start to get nearly impossible to hand tap and there's a chance you'll break a tap or start to remove the repair insert. Grade 2 is generally far stronger than the material your threading into. Loctite primer: mainly just speeds up curing time but isn't necessary. Loctite also isn't 100% necessary, it just adds reassurance. I put approx 8 dimples on each bolt but you can do even more if you're concerned there wasn't enough locking force when you screw it in.

This really is one of the best channels around. Thank you for all your hard work in sharing!
Wow, thank you!
I definitely agree!!!
Most definitely!
Can we all agree, your pup is the star of the show!!
She's the frosting on the cake
She's a nice side act, but hell no. Gus is definitely the ace.
You are absolutely one of the greatest “Grass Roots” mechanics, engineers, welders, metallurgists, and downright cool-ass dudes in the world. If I need to do something out of the ordinary and get into the head-scratching moment of how I’m gonna do it…. I absolutely check your channel FIRST. I go to you for the knuckle busting knowledge, and “AvE” channel for side busting comedy and knowledge. The video you made that saved the day for me, was how to un-warp a cylinder head with a torque-plate and careful application of heat. I had an extremely rare cylinder head allegedly “bEyOnD rEpAiR”, and thanks to that video, it’s held up for 65k miles so far. Thank you for all your hard work in the trenches to bring us these awesome videos. You’re a true rockstar! 🤘🏻😋🤘🏻
65k that's awesome. I'm glad you liked the video and actually tried it.
Good tip! If you chuck the bolts up in a drill press with a drill bit in a vise below the bolt (think vertical lathe, workpiece spins, drill stays stationary), you could center drill the bolt before you install it. I do this by first chucking the drill bit in the drill press upside down, then clamp it in my drill press vise and unchuck it. That gets the drill bit in perfect alignment with the spindle. Then I chuck the bolt up and drill away. You may need to grind the bolt head flat so the drill bit doesn't walk around on the markings on the bolt head. This would guarantee the hole would be perfectly centered and true and would also be one less operation to do in place.
Just get a step stud , common part
And it is easy to do with a drill and a grinder to make one.
Hi Jared, some of us don't have a drill press, so we have to do the best straight drill hole that we can by being very careful.
I've done that "homemade helicoil", and it worked great!
I drilled & tapped the center of the insert bolt before installing. I used a drill press "backward" to ensure the hole was centered, with the bolt in the chuck & the drill bit in the vice.
Timing belt tensioner on a Honda J30…
It held together until the car was totalled (over 10 years).
Ingenious method for when your in a bind or broke. A situation I find myself in quite frequently. Dude, your hand sharpening for that drill bit was impressive. Eyecrometer was spot on that day.👀
Thanks
Spin the drill back & forth between your fingers and you’ll see any difference between the cutting edge flutes.
Love that "Eyecrometer" term haha😊
There are actually 3 types of taps, tapered, plug & bottoming. You should start with a tapered so that the threads will be square to the mating surface. The tap you are using is a plug tap. That is the common type found in kits. For blind holes you need the bottoming tap. A helicoil is a good repair for aluminum because the OD of the helicoil is roughly the equivalent of the next size bolt. On the steel insert sleeves: We used a type in aviation that had 2 stakes on each side to keep it from backing out when you remove the bolt. They take some special tools & are not an option for general use due to the cost. If you use a steel insert & the insert backs out when you remove the bolt you can be in a world of hurt. We used them in aluminum & titanium.
All the tips are GREAT. I must admit, I've fixed a lot of stripped threads, and re-tapped a lot of holes that had frozen bolts in them and I learned a lot from this video!
One of the best channels on CZcams for sure. You have so much practical real world advice. I appreciate all of your tips and things you have shared. And I love Ginger!
Awesome! Thank you!
When you put the cover back on to spot the bolts to mark for center,use transfer punch to mark center,take cover back off then use w cent3r drill instead of a drill this way you won't wall of you mark.
Just my $.02 worth coming from a retired machinist of 40 years experience.
Keep the vids coming to Pittsburgh Pa
Absolutely. I was trying to simplify the process as much as possible. I can only imagine the comments trying to explain a center drill too people.
I do this every day. Some tips. Mcmaster carr has a great selection of threaded inserts if you don't want to do the extra work. Forget heli-coils , they suck. Once you grind it flat and put the cover on, use a transfer punch to punch the exact center instead of the drill bit. Next use a center drill on that punch mark. Then use the tap drill. To keep the holes square, I use a drill/tap guide. Its a block of steel with all the different size holes in it for drilling and tapping nice and straight/square. These items can be found. . Transfer punch set, center drill, drill block. search for them. Nice job on sharpening the drill bits by hand. It's a valuable skill that seems to be lost. I prefer to use a flat belt sander. Everyone has a preference. 👍✌
Thanks for your input
To oan tech: Can you post a video of using a belt sander to sharpen a drill bit?
Can get threaded inserts at Grainger on the cheap too. However, his method , the threads go all the way into the bottom of the hole rather then just the height of a 1/2 inch insert.
How about filling the hole with epoxy/brazing rod/ 'alumaweld'? Will these things stand up to engine heat?
Mount the unit on a drill press. Find the location of the hole. Then fill the hole. Then drill and tap a properly located and orientated hole.
I think I'm pretty clever with my innovative repair techniques but this man is always two steps ahead.
I have been watching you’re videos for as long as I can remember I have never ever had to complain about one of you’re videos because I love them and enjoy them and I really appreciate you taking the time for me and everyone to enjoy thanks
Another excellent tip from one of the best channels on CZcams! I've done this successfully multiple times..... The only thing different that I do, is drill/thread the insert on a lathe prior to installing- Great job and thanks!
Lathe is the way to go.
Love your channel, I walk away every video with a new simple solution. Locking bolt by using a punch on the threads is genius!
Thank you very much!
Exactly the video I needed at the right time. Brass bleeder adapter broke on my atv caliper and I was trying find a way to fix it.
You are Always Saving us money.
Most others want us to spend money on something they got free.
Also love Ginger.
Hey thanks
I'm constantly finding myself in such trouble. Thanks for showing a way out.
What a great idea. Much better than using the next size bigger bolt
Another great video with awesome tips and tricks, thanks, Moe!
I can't wait to try this! We'll actually I can, but next time the situation arises I'm definitely giving this a shot. Thanks for another great tip!
Thanks
Excellent video, you are saving me a ton of head ache's. 👍
I'll have to try that next go around. Thanks for the tip!
Definitely putting this in my back pocket for later, thanks!
I like to keep a bunch of threadserts in my most used sizes, but sometimes it's in one I don't have. Great tip in this one, thank you.
I love your puppy… such a great little very well behaved helper!!!
Wow another trick to add to my repertoire thanks for the invaluable knowledge
This video was amazing I would've never thought of doing something this way.
Hey thanks
Great suggestion/idea! Appreciate these 'innovative' tips to save time/money! Look forward to the next vid.
Thanks for watching!
tried this method on some broken exhaust studs on a 280Z. Worked perfect Thanks a bunch.
This is a great idea. With your lathe you can make one that would be just like the timecert. Thanks for all the videos and ideas!
You bet!
He's smarter than you think! Playing dead is embarrassing to him. The improvised thread repair was what we did on Sunday afternoons in the 1960s when no stores were open to get parts. Good Luck, Rick
My pitlab also has those hand verbal skills and that was a great video thank you.
Genius! Been doing this for years works every time
Awesome
I cannot believe how simple and obvious this was. Right in our face this whole time. You sir are a genius. Thank you for taking the time to show us this amazing trick. Take care and God bless.
Thanks, I'm glad you liked it.
Fantastic! I only wish that I knew this tip as I worked on the BSA motorcycle when I had it.
Great tip and great little friend you have there! Thanks for sharing!
Interesting method, there are some skilled technicians who actually know how to use tools and know what they’re doing!👍👍
Very cool. I'm sure I'll end-up doing this someday.
This is great. I had no idea where you were going with that until halfway, but damn, I will surely use this. I'll use a drill press though, I would have totally skewed that hole drilling it by hand.
Drill press for sure makes it easier.
OK I love the punch idea. The last time I did similar to this I never cut the bolts off going to studs but I like your idea of filling it and redrilling it. and tap.
Well done, man. Such a simple solution... definitely want to make sure the bolt you're going to be tapping into is as soft as possible.
I only know this as I've tried and failed.
His bolt is harder then the aluminum he originally had, now it is steel into steel. Much better clamping strength.
GOOD fix and Ginger will ALWAYS come to your rescue and untie the hoodie cords! BLESSINHGS!
Great video, thanks. I always enjoy your channel.
I appreciate that!
Great tip. 👍
Good Puppy! Very, very smart!
Thanks for that. This is a skill I will undoubtedly use in the future.
We hope we don't, but it always happens.
Good, simple, old school advice.. This can be done laying on your back under a car and in a lot of cases, you can do oil pan bolts without removing the pan.. ...... Glad you mentioned use a #2 bolt,, the harder the bolt the harder it is to drill.. I might suggest that a drill guide/block be used to keep the hole straight.. You can buy a cheap one or make one for free with a small hunk of steel and a drill press..........
Absolutely.
Great video, Moe, as always! Thank you for sharing! And everyone loves Ginger!
Thanks for watching!
I've got to get that drill sharpening thing down that came out awesome 👍
Thanks 👍
Very smart way to fix this!
That was very helpful thanks 👍
Thanks
Great contact as always.
Thanks again!
My brother has a problem very similar to this on his mower. Someone installed a heli-coil on one side where the starter mounts and this may be the solution needed to fix it. I have the taps and dies but no way to remove the heli-coil. I know there are tools to do this but to do this one job I may just drill it out and tap it with the correct size bolt using a similar method as yours. Good Timing on seeing this.
*I can't believe anyone would think Ginger isn't well-trained or smart. She is smarter than some people I have encountered, that's for sure.*
You can pick/pry out a helicoil with a small screwdriver. Once you get a piece out far enough to grab a pair of needle nose will easily screw it out.
Excellent, as always👍
Thanks
Great idea, thanx
Awesome 👍👍
Genius level!
awesome video!!!! this is one of them thing i hope to never try. But glad to know when i need it
Great idea.
If there is one thing i know it is that dog is more than well trained. Does better than i do. 😊
I always learn from you! Thxs.
So nice of you
KD used to make a kit that included solid inserts and a tap. Repaired many old Volkswagon heads that way, while on the engine. Call it an a$$ saver. 👍🍻
Yet another "Now why didn't I think of that" moment. This one defiantly ranks way up there. Thanks : ]
Thanks Man.
One of the best channels; what dolt says your dog is not well trained? He is better than 85% of the people I run into
Thanks
Great video and a great dog !
Thank you very much!
THANKS!!!
Hi I need some help sir your video has inspired me to go out and get a 420 cc engine and build it to put on my new minibike. I’m having an issue with the oil fill wires I removed leaving a hole so I tap 7/18-20 and I tap hole and it’s first time doing this kind of stuff however when I go to put the bolt in 718 half-inch bolt it’s really loose fitting but it kind of grabs on but then once it goes all the way in and I think it’s about to get all the way tight it doesn’t. It just gets really loose at the point it’s supposed to be tight. ?
Clever. I like it!
Great tip like how how you done it and l like your dog and liked your information.
Appreciate all your great tips......and the dog tricks at the end!❤
Thanks for watching!
Heelers are amazing dogs ☺️ I didn't know they were so handy with power tools though 😆
Great educational video and I love the Dog~!!!
Hey thanks
I like this idea. It gives you a "second chance" when it comes to drilling the original bolt out. This could be a good fix for the BMW M54 head bolt pull-out problem, as you get to thread the sacrificial bolt all the way down the hole. Also, the head could be used as a guide to drill straight when drilling the centre of the bolts out?
Nice work, great dog🇺🇸
Thanks 👍
I’m just sitting over here drinking my morning coffee and watching this CZcams mechanic genius beat the crap out of a broken engine so I can pick up some other stripped threads fixing technique’s and I’ll be completely honest when you slipped off there and dang near dove into that little engine and broke your drill bit I was just laughing my ass off and yelling mother of mercy…what a goon! Right! LMFFAO! Then you strolled on over to the bench grinder and did a very nice job with your hand sharpening of that bit and then you little tricky devil… you went right from the silly drill breaker to the Super Star bit maker!!! That’s a fantastic cutting tool that you just whipped right up there Cowboy!!! Those little relief faces will have that mofo drilling though everything like it’s warm butter!!! Hell yeah man!!! Totally impressed and I’ll be a watching every video you have made!!! You The Man!!!
awesome idea!
Thanks!
Clever idea
That dog never fail's to amaze me. Alway's enjoy your video's.
Thank you very much!
👍👍👍Thank you.
Finally someone thought of this method and proved it works, welp time to do save a few motorized bicycle engines
In tests helicoils out-performed timeserts. The simplicity of the spring thread is what gives it its performance. I have a range of thread inserts (non-branded helicoil type) that I use all the time and the repair on two stripped out bolts on my shredder motor was much quicker than shown here. the issue with drilling down a bolt as shown is that it is ridiculously easy to veer off into the surrounding metal, and then you have a REAL problem.
_In THIS particular scenario_ , I really like this method! (Aluminum block, lower power, lawn-mower, don't care about backyard methods)
Just when I thought I knew everything...great tip.
Great tip!!! I have used the certs in spark plug holes but never made one. I have a few applications where I will be using this. If I
video it I will be sure to mention where I got the idea.
Ginger is still the star ⭐⭐⭐
Stay well, Joe Z
Thanks
@@sixtyfiveford ..👌
That was cool
I've always used heli-coils, but I do like your method, especially if I didn't have the right size heli-coil.
Ginger is one smart dog, and the star of the show. It's too bad Yoda's not that smart, but that is my fault for not putting in the effort to train him. Although he is a cute dog and very well behaved.
Cute is plenty when it comes to a dog.
very good, thank you, 👍 smart dog 🙀
God bless you! Thank you!
You're welcome. Take care.
Electrolysis will lock your insert in solid.. and long-term. Thanks for sharing your time and skill. 👍
Ive had a cheap tap set ive kept around, because its handy when you need a straight tap.
just grind a tapered tap down to the straight part.
Sweet!
This john deere mechanic middle 20s didn't know how to sharpen a drill bit. Another guy that worked there said he just picked up a cabinet and these tray boxes of drill bits. Just under 3000$.
And the chain saw didn't know how to sharpen the chain. I was going to buy a chainsaw that took the same chain. There must of been a couple dozen chains in the steel bin. All they needed was to be sharpened. Unreal!
I used this trick a few month back on a Hyundai abs sensor bolt works good.
Good idea.
Thanks!
Good one!
Thanks!
GGreat ideaa!🛻
Great tip I will definitely be putting that in my brain file
Excellent!
Is your Step drill bit sharpening video out yet? I searched , could not find it.
